Novas tecnologias, novas sensibilidades

Abstract

The article discusses the changes in contemporaneous culture that result from the globalization process and how these changes have brought on the discussion on identity crises, especially those based on the national State, presenting new manners to experience the pretencimento identity to a territory. This takes place at a time when the new technologies, the ease in information flow and communications create new sensibilities, new ways for people, especially young people, to relate with one another. This is a fact that has deepened the challenges that both school and teachers have to confront. The author emphasizes the importance, in this context, of understanding these new technologies and the means of mass communication from the reception point of view, since their meaning is built on the day-to-day basis.
