Algorithmisation of Childhood: The Social and Digital (Re)Construction of Children
Abstract
This article analyses the evolution of the city as a space of childhood, highlighting the transition from urban contexts open to children's social interaction towards environments increasingly mediated by digital technologies. Drawing on a critical review of historical and social processes, it discusses the gradual exclusion of children from public spaces and their confinement within controlled environments, resulting in an “algorithmisation of childhood”. Furthermore, it examines the concept of musicmedia to describe forms of cultural co-construction within domestic digital environments. The findings emphasise the need to consider children's relationships with technologies without disregarding the importance of rethinking public policies aimed at the (re)occupation of public spaces by children, grounded in the inclusion of their voices.
