Sommario/riassunto

Juché dès le tournant des XI-XIIe s. sur un éperon rocheux aux pentes vertigineuses, dominant le cours d’un torrent montagnard, le château d’Essertines a constitué pendant tout le Moyen Âge une défense rapprochée de Montbrison, capitale des comtes de Forez. Sa situation, ses enceintes et bon nombre des objets mis au jour par la fouille soulignent sa vocation militaire. L’exploration archéologique a redécouvert les bâtiments qui se sont succédé au cœur de la forteresse, les traces des incendies qui les ont ravagés, et maints témoignages de la vie que menaient entre leurs murs les officiers de la châtellenie et les membres de la garnison.

Sommario/riassunto

Social media and smartphones are criticised for being addictive, destroying personal relationships, undermining productivity, and invading privacy. In this book, Trine Syvertsen explores the phenomenon of digital detox: users taking a break from digital media or adopting measures to limit smartphone and social media use. Based on studies, documents, media texts and interviews with media users, Syvertsen discusses how media industries intensify the quest for attention, how companies and governments team up to get everybody online, and how the main responsibility for managing online risks and problems are placed on the users' shoulders. She provides a rich account of how users reduce their online engagement through time-limitations, restrictions on smartphone use, productivity apps, and use



of analogue media. Syvertsen shows how digital detoxing has much in common with other forms of self-help such as mindfulness, decluttering and simple living and places digital detox within a culture of self-optimisation. But digital detox is also about sustaining face-to-face conversations, better work-life-balance, a deeper connection with nature and more meaningful interpersonal relationships. With a wealth of examples, analyses and stories, Digital Detox is a valuable guide to why digital detox and disconnection has become a topic, how it is practised, what it says about the state of media industries and how people express resistance in the 21st century.
