本研究的目的是了解传播技术景观的转变如何促进社会纽带建设中特定模式的发展。它为“互联”关系管理的发展提供了证据，其中（实际）缺席的一方通过双方中介沟通姿态的倍增而获得存在，直到共存互动和中介远程交流似乎编织成一个单一的、无缝的网络。在回顾了当前的一些社会科学研究之后，我依靠对法国家庭电话、移动电话和移动短信使用情况的实证研究，讨论了随着这些技术的普及以及每一种额外的通信资源向用户提供，这种特殊的“连接”关系是如何逐渐具体化的。我还描述了这种“连接”模式如何与以前管理“中介”关系的方式共存，在这种方式中，通信技术被认为可以替代或补偿面对面互动的稀有性。
The aim of this research is to understand how the transformation of the communication technoscape allows for the development of particular patterns in the construction of social bonds. It provides evidence for the development of a ‘connected’ management of relationships, in which the (physically) absent party gains presence through the multiplication of mediated communication gestures on both sides, up to the point where copresent interactions and mediated distant exchanges seem woven into a single, seamless web. After reviewing some of the current social-science research, I rely on empirical studies of the uses of the home telephone, the mobile phone, and mobile text messaging in France to discuss how this particular repertoire of ‘connected’ relationships has gradually crystallized as these technologies have become widespread and as each additional communication resource has been made available to users. I also describe how such a ‘connected’ mode coexists with a previous way of managing ‘mediated’ relationships, in which communication technologies were thought to substitute or compensate for the rarity of face-to-face interactions.
