Fragment, speed, information
Abstract
This article, presented as a theoretical essay, aims to reflect, based on the proposals of the Spanish philosopher and semiologist Gonzalo Abril Curto, particularly his studies on information as a cultural formation, on the status of two fundamental concepts for thinking about the social: information and fragmentation. I add to this reflection the concept of velocity, as part of a work that seeks to recognize and critically consider the coordinates traversing society as a whole. To develop this work, we draw on examples from the cultural, media, and everyday life fields to show the changes that have occurred in various spheres of social life since the advent of digital life.
