Abstract
How do communicative processes achieve communicational effectiveness? Multicode environments promote language/technology binds, and binds of language/technology promote cognitive changes; thus, showing that multicode environments promote cognitive changes (mutant thinking). Inspired by that reasoning, the research on multicode environments shows that the communicational effectiveness is born from consciousness-taking stimulated by changes of habit using multicode digital networks. It approaches as its empirical object those groups of cyberactivists, video game players, and epistemologists of communication. The outcomes point out to another hypothesis about the new epistemological object of communicology: the production process of references linked to the dynamics of the real addressing the agents herein encompassed to habit-changings of understanding in their own way of feeling/acting/thinking. The aim is to draw the contributions of Charles S. Peirce’s pragmaticist semiotics as an output of the communication’s epistemological crisis by suggesting important abductions and analogies with the today’s developments of biosemiotics.
