Virtualidade e narrativas : o ambiente digital como complexificador da autoconstituição/cognição.

Abstract

Technologies are part of human beings quotidian and with that reality, we are learning to live with all kinds of digital devices or not, with which we conduct different activities and change our relationship with the world. Through technology mankind can experience learning in different ways. With such reality in mind I proposed a situation/problem to fulfill my research under the question: How do adolescents selforganize considering a challenging digital environment, providing continuous process complexion and self-constitution? To do so, the research sought theoretical contributions considering issues of the Self-Organization Movement (MAO) and the Complexity Paradigm with Maturana’s and Varela’s (1997, 2001), Biology of Cognition Theory, as well as Lévy’s (1999) aspects of the virtual space and the dynamic of the hypertext. Thus, the empirical research was conducted by a qualitative research under action-research characteristics, where data were generated by the interaction of a group of 15 adolescents with different technological devices. In order to answer the problem proposed by the research the interactions of the participants, with both, themselves and the machines were observed. Through the disturbances each one constructed his/her autonomy, according to the principles of complexity in terms of the coupling man/machine in/on the network, which allowed the construction of new experiences. Throughout this process as background epistemological inference it was observed the inseparability of knowledge/subjectivity, immersed in an environment of noise, enabling adolescents’ complexion as authors of their lives, leveraging the idea of invention and linkage subject/reality/world/learning.
