Mediatized Sapiens: Communicational knowledge

Mediatization: what we say and what we think 25 up to this other way of being in consciousness to understand media literacy, not as learning a technological competence, but rather a demanding observation that does not refuse the chal- lenge of discovering what may not yet have been presented but is already proposed like another invitation of life (Michael Forsman). 6. Presenting to mediatize In this presentation, we had no other objective than making explicit the debates suggested by the works dealing with mediatization and its provisional definitions, which sought to revisit concepts and trends enshrined in different theories of communication. Presenting some certainty and definitions those concepts do not manage to apprehend the insinuations proposed by living between interactions as mediatized manifestations that refuse to weave definitive medialogies. This re- fusal imposes on mediatization researchers and, above all, those gathered at the Seminars on Mediatization and Social Processes, a need to develop a long exercise that empirically envisages ob- serving mediatization processes to be able to invent another way of studying communication, far from the theoretical/explanatory linearity that affects programs and media scripts.
