Description: The aim of this book is to explore new forms and cultural practices in the digital age that challenge or undermine the hegemonic modes of knowledge production historically related to the written text. It is reassess non-textual production strategies and mechanisms that open up the possibility of new ways of knowledge. The authors of the essays gathered here believe that research based on art, digital communities and open access, expanded writtimg, performance and digital multimedia interventions are strategies that challenge notions traditional knowledge and at the same time are expanding the criteria beyond strictly from concepts of epistemology to explore transformations of known formats and the specific conditions that are they manifest in the information society. These investigations contribute to think the ways in which knowledge is looking for and finding new ways, even in the very bowels of the hegemonic institutions. It is proposed that the knowledge, beyond the text as hegemonic format, should include both studies as a theoretical and methodological paradigm through which is interpreted and social reality is analyzed, as well as their mobilization and activation to the hegemony; it theorizes about the dislocation effect on traditional epistemology caused by digitalization and new media, and explores the impact of new media and the digitization not only in everyday social practice, but in traditional conceptions art.
