Abstract

The article promotes interfaces between areas of knowledge generally disconnected, proposing a trans-Habermasian point of view about the public sphere. The objective is to think about political formation and its interface with the virtual public sphere from two argumentative paths. The first one, against Habermas himself, presents the virtual public sphere as cognitive technology following the theory of the extended mind (CHALMERS and CLARK, 1998). The second argument defends the idea that the current political formation must be understood under two axes: from the effects of meaning, related to the hermeneutics of discourse, where it is possible to insert Habermas himself; and the presence effects, which in dialogue with the non-hermeneutic field, call attention to the very presence of these cognitive technologies and their unfolding in social and political cognition today.

Summary

A MENTE ESTENDIDA ALÉM DO DISCURSO: A ESFERA PÚBLICA VIRTUAL

COMO TECNOLOGIA COGNITIVA [THE MIND EXTENDED BEYOND DISCOURSE: THE VIRTUAL PUBLIC SPHERE AS COGNITIVE. Seu objetivo é pensar a formação política e sua interface com a esfera pública virtual a partir de dois caminhos argumentativos. O primeiro, indo de encontro ao próprio Habermas, concebe a esfera pública virtual como tecnologia cognitiva à luz das teorias da mente estendida (CHALMERS e CLARK, 1998). O segundo procura fundamentar a ideia de que a formação política atual deva ser compreendida sob dois eixos: a partir dos efeitos de sentido, relacionados à hermenêutica do discurso, onde é possível inserir o próprio Habermas; e os efeitos de presença, que dialogando com o campo não hermenêutico, chamam atenção para a própria presença dessas tecnologias cognitivas e seus desdobramentos na cognição social e política na atualidade. PALAVRAS­CHAVE: mente estendida; esfera pública virtual; cognição incorporada e corporificada
