Mediatized Sapiens: Communicational knowledge

Antonio Fausto Neto 288 and intertwining generated by it, establishing a new matrix of intelligibility. In this mediatized context, which brings together rem- nants of mediation, outcrops, and effects of mediatization, as well as injunctions of interpenetrations of discourses, the im- portance of observational processes developed according to several social logics that intertwine, causing unknown effects, was noted in advance, and, specifically, their presence in the self- organization of social systems, as well as their impact on com- plex social systems, such as the university (VERÓN, 2015). According to the perspective developed here, the uni- versity interacts with other institutions and social actors, as sys- tems and collectives, as a place of observation, of itself, and also of other systems according to the singularities of its postulates, rationalities, grammars, and discursive operations. It is in this context that possibilities of “talking about oneself,” “talking to others,” “talking about others,” and “talking to others” are mani- fested, according to enunciative protocols, which are, by nature, crossed by the complexity of differences around which the production of meaning takes place. It means that observational and communicative activity between systems occurs around com- plex interchangeability based on the coupling of assumptions of each of them, whose operations and marks are not known a priori. It is in this prior non-knowledge that resides, therefore, the problem of the production of meanings, structuring itself around asymmetries of enunciative elaborations. 4. Conclusive Remarks Uniquely, the university constitutes itself as an instance that generates observation about society, based on self-refer- ence mechanisms, through which it defends, besides legitimizing its modes of sharing knowledge, the very act of transmitting it. They are mechanisms that materialize through actions and techno-pedagogical operations that involve teaching, research, extension, management, etc., and have specific characteristics since they are also permeated by mediatization operations.
