From the levels of memory to their info-technicist unfolding in the information society

Resumo

The present article consists of analyzing memory levels from the perspective of Assmann (2008). From a systematic review on the subject, is instituted a vision on the dimension of internal (neuronal), social and cultural memory in the human, material and immaterial relations between groups. A theoretical-analytic dialogue with History, Sociology, Anthropology, Social Psychology, Information Science and other areas of the Social Sciences is undertaken, which are presented not in a watertight manner, but which participate in the analysis of this polysemic object, formed not in the abstraction of the norm, but intertwined with the worlds of people and social dynamics. Next, the level of the cultural dimension of memory is related to the categories of the information society in its triple immersion: as an economic transition, political project and social norms, to discuss the technical dimension of memory whose modern tendency is characterized by the use / use and hyper-industrialization of 'mnemonic technology' for the performance and development of individuals, organizations and societies.
