Abstract

The narratives around the consumption of technologies are crossed by ambivalences that see digital media as beneficial and harmful. So, contemporary movements such as voluntary disconnection present themselves as capable of balancing the consumption of social networks and smartphones in order to establish well-being for their users. Therefore, through an ethnography for the internet (HINE, 2015), this study aims to analyze the main motivators for the exercise of voluntary digital disconnection and its imbrications in the reality of a specific group of participants, mainly through three important elements for digital distancing: presence, productivity and privacy (SYVERTSEN, 2020). In the end, the motivators for a digital distancing are revealed as heterogeneous and marked in the unique experience of each individual, and also to support the development of disconnection strategies followed by the user group.
