Mediatized Sapiens: Communicational knowledge

Ciro Marcondes 38 our ignorance of the risks of mediatization. And so, the important thing is now to develop critical systems not simply against negative experiences but against the very logics that sustain these experiences. And for that, it is necessary that the university understands in detail and specifically each social experience that is carried out in the context of mediatization. So, this is our job. I would say that it is of a praxiological order of communicational knowledge. In-depth knowledge of technologies is not enough, which is important, but it is neces- sary to know what society is doing, possibly wrongly, with these affordances, these features of technology. I think that is it, Ciro, that more or less sums up what I think. That’s it. Jairo: Thank you very much, Braga. Thank you very much, Ciro. We, as we walk here, I am already on the wagon floor, organizing the watermelons here. Well then, we’ll adjust the conversation’s pace. I take the liberty to invite Professor José Luiz Aidar Prado to ask his question online. Please, Aidar. Aidar Prado: Hello. In fact, I put it in the chat here, but I’m going to read it to Braga, but it crosses Ciro’s speech a little, too. I really liked your idea of learning, linked to facing crises, which leads me to think of the idea of events as the opening of new worlds. But I think it is necessary to characterize this learning beyond the purely cognitive; that is, not only at the level of information and the cognitive but of a knowledge that considers the sensitive, the body, and the unconscious. It would require thinking about the subject not from the possession of attributes but as dealing with indeterminacy, and then perhaps this would connect more with Honneth than with Habermas. And then, I just asked you to comment a little on this direction of learning, which I think also intersects with your idea of experimentation. It would not be a purely cognitive experiment but an experiment that had this event recording. Ciro: I found it very interesting that Aidar brought up this question because it also seemed to me that Braga had placed a great deal of emphasis on the cognitive issue. I am also in favor of a look that diverts, or, actually, extends concerns to the sensi- tive, to the body, to the unconscious, or, as was said there, to the indeterminate, about indeterminacy. And this had never been effectively explored by our area of ​knowledge. We have been
