From Culture to “Cyberculture”: the technological mediation in the construction of knowledge and the new ways of sociability

It is necessary that Anthropology tackles the socio-cultural phenomena and processes that carry new meanings, and/or show up as the result of technological mediation. The media represent a relevant issue for Anthropology as an object of study, as a support, and as a research tool. The social and cul...

The media represent a relevant issue for Anthropology as an object of study, as a support, and as a research tool. The social and cultural uses of video cameras, the internet and of cell phones are of anthropological concern. Moreover, the anthropologist can also carry a camera in order to record social events that take place during his/her fieldwork, and subsequently reflect upon this methodological practice. Therefore, the anthropological research work on and through audiovisual media requires a review of those concepts and categories which articulate theoretical and methodological knowledge, and which intend to shed light on the new social experiences of individual and collective subjects in our contemporary world. The concepts discussed throughout the present article –culture; cyber-culture, mediation, (commodity) fetishism– represent analytical tools to understand the new ways of constructing knowledge and sociabilities on the internet. Es importante abordar desde la antropología los fenómenos y procesos socioculturales que son resignificados o surgen a partir de la mediación tecnológica. Los medios, entonces, se vuelven objeto de estudio para la antropología y a la vez en soportes o instrumentos para la misma. Podemos analizar los usos sociales de cámaras de video, internet y celulares; pero también el antropólogo puede llevar una cámara al “campo” o construir el mismo “campo” en internet. La investigación antropológica sobre y a través de los medios audiovisuales requiere una revisión de los conceptos y categorías que definen la producción de conocimiento teórico y metodológico en antropología y pretenden explicar la experiencia social de los sujetos y grupos sociales. Los conceptos a discutir aquí –cultura, “cibercultura”, mediación y fetichismo– representan herramientas analíticas importantes para comprender las nuevas formas de producción del conocimiento y de sociabilidades que se producen en la Red. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/2729 10.34096/cas.i31.2729 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/2729/2365 Cuadernos de antropología social; Núm. 31 (2010): 25 aniversario de la creación de la Sección de Antropología Social; 75-96 1850-275X 0327-3776 Anthropology Technological Mediation Fetishism Culture Cyberculture Antropología Mediación Tecnológica Fetichismo Cultura Cibercultura From Culture to “Cyberculture”: the technological mediation in the construction of knowledge and the new ways of sociability De la Cultura a la Cibercultura: la mediatización tecnológica en la construcción de conocimiento y en las nuevas formas de sociabilidad info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cantropo&d=2729_oai
