Moving time and juggling spheres

We define ourselves as human beings within a certain time and space context. These dimensions are now being transformed as our experience is mediated by mobile technologies. But how is this transformation occurring in women’s lives? Are women allowed a more comprehensive management of their time? This research, focusing on time, is theoretically grounded in the more recent feminist debates, identifying cultural representation and discourse as important carriers of the gender system. This work has opted for a qualitative dominant mixed method, designed to answer the question: what is the meaning of the mobile phone for women at different stages in their life trajectories? The paper argues that the role women play in society is determinant in their use of the mobile phone.
