The construction of meaning in the computer or the computer at all: what is it?

Abstract

Abstract : This paper proposes to conduct a theoretical construct about the formation of meaning in texts in digital environments. In this way, it proposes the initial reflection presenting the esthesic involvement of the subject as the constitutor element of meaning in the digital environment. Another aspect that is presented as an initial hypothesis of sense in this context is the element paratextual. For an initial questioning, it started from a theoretical basis (Flusser, Johnson, Genette). The analysis of cases allowed realizing that the esthesic involvement of the subject with the text occurs differently in the digital print environment. Another factor in the construction of meaning in the digital environment is the location of the elements paratextuals from the linguistic point of the printed text and digital text. If in that they are viewed as accessories, they pass these to be constituted as textual elements. Finally, it attempts to indicate a path to think the computer to beyond the instrumental view of the tool.
