Patologia da sequencialidade. Da interpenetração entre estruturas do pensamento e meios de transmissão do conhecimento

Abstract

Both intellectual production as teaching practices have, over the centuries, encouraging the sequential cognitive models. However, with the appearance of new knowledge transmission media – particularly with the advent of electronic surfaces of the so-called hypertext – the modes of mental organization can no longer be designed only from the linear archetypes of "sequentiality". In order to provide a conceptual approach to this phenomenon, the theoretical proposal that will be presented here will revolve around the concept of "cross-referentiality", whose operative nature brings into play the forms of articulation between thought and knowledge transmission media, as well as the ensuing consequences for the sequential structuring of thought itself.
