Internet como dispositivo de vigilância : um estudo sobre Geração Y e suas adequações

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate how information and communication technology users are related to the different levels of surveillance provided by corporate environments. For the delimitation of the subjects, were chosen people who were born between 1985 and 1995, known as generation Y. In its theoretical foundation, four concepts were worked out: generations, information and communication technologies, and surveillance. The empirical research was carried out in different movements, starting from an approach through exploratory research, which provided elements so that it was possible to plan the action / intervention movements in the field of study. After the theoretical, interviews were carried out with users of generation Y, who were in accordance with cybernetic surveillance precepts, in order to reach the objectives proposed by the work. The movements of interpretation of the phenomena were carried out in a way to complement each other, problematized and thought according to the specificities of the investigated reality and of the subjects inserted in the dynamics and processes of surveillance. The results indicate that the subjects of the generation Y, chosen for studies, presented homogeneous behaviors in the cybernetically monitored corporate environment, being in accordance with the behaviors demanded by the constant vigilance, which one can be compared with the theory of surveillance: the Panópticon , by Bentham (2000).
