The body in communicative ecosystems: Developments for educommunication

Resumo

The communicative ecosystems designate the relationship between subject and media and are the basis for theoretical developments in different authors of Educommunication. The concept goes further by embracing the change of sensitive perception in the contact between human and technology. This transformation of the sensorium is a reference for Communication and the Human Sciences and also establishes a connection with Neuroscience, whose understanding of human cognition refutes the separation between body and mind. On the contrary, it points out that thinking and perceptual and expressive abilities are the result of an integrated action of the body, not just the brain. Therefore, the change of sensorium associated with communicative ecosystems implies also dealing with the body, which represents new possibilities of reflection and practice for Educommunication in the era of digital technologies in network.
