A socio-generational study of young adults' techno-biographical trajectories in the region of Madrid. Media Studies / Medijske Studije. 10 (20), 12-30. https://doi.org/10.20901/ms.10.20.1.1848-503010.20901/ms.10.20.1https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/91600In this article the author takes a socio-generational perspective in order to reconstruct young adults’ biographies of socialization in the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the region of Madrid, presenting a Bourdieuan approach which includes two entangled dimensions of this process: material domestication of ICTs in daily activity and distinctive digital literacies internalized as dispositions towards practice. From a sample of thirty in-depth interviews structured by gender, age, education and type of digital accessibility, the author’s analysis results in a typology of four ideal techno-biographical trajectories (‘T1-pro-technology users’, ‘T2-practical users’, ‘T3-mobile users’, ‘T4- professional users’) which represent distinctive forms of appropriation of digital technologies into practice.engAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/journal articlehttps://hrcak.srce.hr/clanak/343054open accessYouthInternetDigital divideDigital nativesGenerational analysisSociología6307.07 Tecnología y Cambio Social
