Prescrire un itinéraire touristique par la médiation d’un écrit d’écran

Abstract

This article describes how mobile consultation of “screen-based writings” is likely to affect the practices of mobile Internet users and transform the shape and scope of how they move around. It focuses specifically on how mobile tourism applications are changing the way people visit. Mobile applications are perceived as a way to organize, structure, and display writings that condition and frame the visitor experience. The article analyses two types of interdependent translations: the sociotechnical inscription of the prescriptions selected and the selective reception of the information transmitted and how it is valued in practice.
