TITLE:

Notes on the Digital: A Systematization of Digital Ontology

KEY WORDS:

Digital Space, Technopolitics, Cybernetics, Digital Ecology, Digital Ontology.

PAGES: 130
BIG AREA: Ciências Sociais Aplicadas
AREA: Desenho Industrial
SUMMARY:

This work investigates the ontology of the Digital by questioning the use and dissemination of metaphors that create a specialized view of the research object still prevalent in the 21st century. For this purpose, an exploration was conducted to understand the nature of the Digital and its social, political, technological, and perceptual implications for the citizen- users who are part of the system it overlaps. Through a multidisciplinary and systemic approach anchored in Technopolitics, Cybernetics studies, and using Design and its technologies as a starting point, a taxonomic model for the ontology of the Digital is constructed throughout the text, accompanied by a critique of its construction that indicates the Digital should be seen as an integral layer of human ecology, abandoning the idea of a "digital space." This perspective allows us, by renouncing tool-based and functionalist discourses around the Digital, to adopt a more philosophical view of the phenomenon, in a more complete and integrated manner in everyday life, and thus contribute to a broader understanding of the digital dimension, encouraging further explorations of its implications for future research, Design practices, and social engagement.
