Hipermídia tátil: Imersão e interacionalidade nas telas móveis e as interfaces líquidas da Cibercultura

Abstract

This research brings a perspective about the hypermedia, on its relation with the digital interfaces and through the context of social uses from the Touchscreen technology. By the mobile ambience around the smartphone and tablet – highlighted gadgets in the current mobility –, we have questioned about how the immersion and interaction processes (interationality in general) from these devices can show up more dynamic communication implications. Our main objective is to discuss about the mediation and the online informational sharing offered by those mobile screens, features that permeate, for exemple, the apps uses, interactions on social networking websites and the production of varied content. Therefore, our approach is based on the qualitative research. For the objectives, we have the exploratory and explanatory ones. Concerning the procedures, the bibliographical and documentary researches. About the methods, there are the deductive (approach), the historical and the observational (procedures). With the sugestion from Santaella (2007), about the existence of “liquid languages” among images and virtual ambiences – a conception based on a certain “liquid modernity”, in Bauman (2001) –, we have relationed that notion for the digital informations referred to the Graphical User Interfaces, according to the meanings of the touch screens. To elucidate, in a better way, what we have called by “liquid interfaces”, it is argued about inherent factors such as languages, the contents and the media practices into the new communication dynamics in mobility. Through the technological innovations, the mediatization of society gains new assimilations, new media practices and new perspectives.
