The theoretical background utilizes resistance to the media, family contexts of socialisation and mediated society.

This article characterises these individuals, their contexts and motives. Through identifying refusal of the internet, social networks, news and television, we arrive at distinct five types: “I do not like and I do not want to use”; “At this stage of life, no!”; “Split between I can’t have and I can’t buy it”; “I don’t want to draw attention to myself and don’t want to get ‘hooked’”; and “Doing something different and doing it better”. Neste artigo argumentamos pela necessidade de atenção a dinâmicas de recusa e de rejeição de utilização dos média para melhor se compreender a sociedade de consumo profundamente mediatizada. Seguimos um suporte teórico sobre resistência aos média, contextos familiares de socialização e sociedade mediatizada. Analisamos 18 entrevistas realizadas em Portugal – conduzidas no âmbito de uma investigação mais vasta com 40 jovens e seus familiares, sobre a sua relação com os média na perspetiva de direitos de cidadania –, que evidenciaram sinais de não uso dos média. O presente artigo caracteriza estas pessoas, os seus contextos e motivos. Identificando recusas da internet, das redes sociais, das notícias e da televisão, chegamos a cinco tipos: “Não gosto e não quero usar”; “Nesta fase da vida, não!”; “Entre o não posso ter e o não posso comprar”; “Não dar nas ‘vistas’ e não ficar ‘agarrado’” e “Fazer diferente e fazer melhor”.
