Cognitive and informational architectures in the context of contemporary social dynamics

Abstract

This article investigates conceptual bases for a better understanding of the architecture of communication networks in cyberspace and information flows between subjects, as well as learning in the context of contemporary social dynamics. It examines four current events: the globalization of the economy; the migration of people linked to political, economic and religious causes; the revolution in information technology and communication and technological convergence. Taken together, they allow us to argue that, in economy and in globalized cultures, society is in constant turbulence, intensifying the search for models in order to build connections that have a social meaning. The social weaving is being created, and its complexity requires interdisciplinary approaches to understand their specific requirements. In this context the spread of information is increasingly enhanced by homogeneous nodes and strategies for optimizing response time to users. The article discusses strategies for distributing information and knowledge, which permits the strengthening of associative virtual worlds and the emergence of varieties of architectural information networks, both in the economic and political or social spheres. Shows the virtual world as an associative structurer of information and cognitive networks, making new dynamics ideographs rise in an interweaving of text, hypertext, speeches, dialogues and forms of interaction. The complex network of information weaves nodes, fractals and holograms from the memorials of humanity. It mixes different cultures, values, ways of thinking, in a whirl of knowledge interaction possibilities.
