The aesthetics of knowledge in digital networks

Abstract

Given the current state of confluence of languages, propitiated by the dissemination oftechnologies and mobile devices, the production and reception of knowledge tends toextrapolate the disciplinary limits imposed by a model based on the hegemony of the booksand the presence of the teacher in the classroom, to acquire unprecedented contours. Thepresent study takes as its starting point the concepts of immersive reader and ubiquitousreader, proposed by Santaella, to raise an understanding about the aesthetic potential ofknowledge in the current state of convergence of networks. Approaches are made between aubiquitous learning and the concepts of intuitive knowledge and tacit knowledge, so that it ispossible to identify an aesthetic character inherent in the production of knowledge that usesdigital networks.
