THE VALUES OF THE CAPITALISM IN DIGITAL CULTURE AND THE FORMATION OF PEASANT YOUTH

Abstract

In this text, we discuss about the relationship between the basis of capitalism and the digital culture and about its inffluences on human formation of the youth of the countryside. The digital culture is the culture of speed, of the shortening of commercial and communicational distances, of the intensity, of the possibility of connection between borders never visited before, of the accelerated thinking, of the memory out of the body, of the intimate relationship mediated by machines, of the approximation to the unkown, of the instant conversations. From this observation, we understand that the fast technological evolution we are going through is, essencially, a creation of the Capital whose expansion involves extending its networks, its conexions, its values, which are incorporated not only to the labor market, but also to the whole sociability. The analitical, methodological and theoretical movement, which has guided this work, is based on a dialectical-historical perspective. The concrete reality is the starting point and, at the same time, the point of arrival. This work is part of doctoral studies at the Post-Graduate Program in Education of Federal University of Bahia, which discusssed about field Education in the context of Digital Culture. It was discussed that in this culture of profusion and hybridization of languages, the words information and communication exceeds their original meaning. Thus, information and communication technologies are more than tools. They are cultural contents which act and challenge the formation of peasant youth by multiple ways. Among the conclusions, we found that both the form and the content generated by the relations with technology are formed through a premise of social organization which agregates from the current features of society, up to the projection of what this society may become.
