Lucrécia D´Alessio Ferrara 24 man). In this novelty taken as a recurrence of what was always experienced, although perhaps not apprehended, there is a tech- nological literacy that, as a power structure, presents itself as a package of transmissible rules, ready to be passed on in a learning process as mimetic as it is uninteresting for those who, liv- ing media day-to-day, are no longer naive, but demanding while waiting for another performance different from simple literacy and attentive to the unpredictable requests of the novelties of the media and their respective technologies or devices. In this sense, it is necessary to observe that mediatization promotes openness to consider other levels of analysis and, among them, communication that, although being common to all organic and inorganic living species, finds, in anthropological phylogenesis, another cognitive and perceptive matrix that establishes intimate relationships between sensitivity, mind, body, space, and language, inaugurating a cognitive matrix not superior, but more complex than the common phylogenesis of all living beings.
