A situated perspective of access to ambivalent ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in the country indicates that any digital transition involves significant breaks of everyday experience. This text analyzes the appropriation of digital devices by rural teachers that installs a certain historical trajectory of the school as an intervener status in the digitization of education. These appropriations represent tense interpenetrations between individual attributes and contextual conditions of access to computers, mobile phones and networks in a techno-cultural environment with increasing acceptance of ICT. The fieldwork identifies historical features of the rural school and brands of the institutional trajectory significant for teachers who appropriate ICT in the classroom and the school. The analyzed testimonies correspond to semi-structured interviews with teachers in public e...

The interrelationship between the modern processes of urbanization and mediatization is a sociocultural key of Latin America in the 21st century. The mediatization of everyday life, expressed herein through the consumption of television, crosses different urban spaces: megalopolises, large cities, medium-sized cities and small towns. In particular, this text shows how television consumption is also deployed in a scenario of digital transition, the agro-city of Argentina, a specific hybrid territory made up of the integration of urban and rural features. This study includes three operations of a methodological convergence or triangulation strategy: a) the discussion of the background, relevance and significance of the “agro-city” notion within the frame of the sociocultural theory in order to understand its implications on studies about the relationships between communication, media a...
