Mediatized Sapiens: Communicational knowledge

Mediatization: what we say and what we think 19 works, with a view to mutation, but the transmission or reconfiguration of those codes, through algorithms and platforms. If we understand mediatization is an experience aimed at invent- ing, it is necessary to accept invention as a risk that must rely on the unpredictability that limits all certainties and makes the ex- perience an adventure made of attempts produced in the trans- versality of the established knowledge (José Luis Braga). However, if we understand it not as an attempt but as a routine led by codes or technological modulations, we can transform it into a habit that reproduces itself in a predictable and self-explanatory way, like an algorithm. However, a mismatch arises from that habit. If applied to social processes, mediatization is as open and complex as societies are and requires daring to work with systems in a flux of change, more focused on experiences of invention than on certainties of applicative learning. A revolution that transforms knowledge production into an uncertain and unforeseen flow, which admits everything as an inferential method, but promises nothing, although it creates intermediate theories for communication (José Luis Braga). A revolution in the means of learning that imposes the need to review, in its flow of transformations, all application predictability, as they can insinuate differences that, not infrequently, are interpreted as possible accidents along the way and end up, therefore, being trivialized (Sandra Massoni, Eneus Trindade, Göran Bolin). In this way, unforeseen phenomena arise, such as the occurrence. Mario Carlón studies the event in its chronological evidence and, therefore, as a historical event, foreseen in causes and consequences. One can observe, however, that, contrary to the dynamics of the event, the occurrence is capable of attract- ing attention to the media unusual or spectacular; that is, the occurrence is not to be confused with the historical event and not permeated by causes and consequences that can chronologi- cally be demarcated as before, during, and after. On the contrary, the occurrence does not admit chronologies because it is inde- terminate in its causes and unpredictable in its consequences; therefore, the occurrence is as suitable for mediatization as it distances itself from the spectacular predictable event in its con- sequences and, above all, in its causes. One can observe that the
