Couples of the Internet Age: Towards a New Paradigm of Relations?
Key Words : couple relations,internet age,mobile communication,de-synchronization,ICT
Abstract
The introduction of mobile communication devices disrupts the domestic sphere, including couple relations. Indeed, the individual may now establish more easily relations with the “intruders” at home (in various fields: friendship, love or career) and find themselves in poly-commitment situations causing de-synchronization of everyday life. This article will try to show that this intrusion of ICT at home questions the idea of the relationship and leads to new strategies of actors within the couple.
