Goals
The main of the project is to: "understand (1) how are social legitimations for or against children’s use of smartphones
constructed; (2) how do parents make sense of their mediation of children’s mobile internet use
drawing on different interpretative repertoires; and (3) how children negotiate, resist or evade
parental justifications by producing alternative narratives." (Mascheroni, 2014, p. 446)
