Hipermídia e transdisciplinaridade: a linguagem digital como ferramenta eficaz para interligação de áreas do conhecimento

Abstract

The need to reverse the process of specialization, which began with the Industrial Revolution, can be seen in the current incentives for transdisciplinary research and activities. Understanding knowledge as the result of an information network, we believe hypermedia is actually the most appropriate language to reconnect the various segmented knowledges. In this study, we discuss how information technology can be used to return the human knowledge to its original status of totality and which is the role of communication professional in this process. To check the theories discussed, we analyzed a virtual edition of "Homo science - the evolution of knowledge", publication developed in classroom to work with students the concepts of hypermedia and transdisciplinarity, experiment whose results make clear the potential of digital language as an effective tool for networking knowledge.
