Previous studies have indicated that there are ties, implicit and explicit, between the micro-rules of informational actions, singular, situated, and the macro-rules of the economy, administration, politics. Today, the expansion of digital devices and environments, generates new questions about the relationships that are established between local and situated actions, and informational actions of another order and extension, implemented in digital environments. In this work, to better understand what constitutes the context of information actions, and how it changes (or not), as the cultural and technological conditions in which they are anchored change. For that, we used the conceptual frameworks of pragmatic approaches, and socio-anthropological studies that illustrate the changes in function, effects and relevance of the contexts of information actions.
Keywords: Information actions. Contexts. Synthetic situations.
