PEREZ LASPRILLA, Miller Antonio. The Information Technology in Cyberculture. An Analysis with the Theory of Codes. Pedagogía y Saberes [online]. 2021, n.54, pp.125-139.  Epub Feb 05, 2022. ISSN 0121-2494.  https://doi.org/10.17227/pys.num54-10527.

Information technology is nowadays a part of a cultural change that shapes the concept of cyber-culture. However, the common use of the culture concept, combined with the lack of academic consensus about its definition, makes especially difficult its analysis in terms of hardware production, software programming, genetic edition as well as the new social, economic, and political organization dynamics. As an alternative to this, this text adopts a communicological interpretation towards culture, based on coding theory and a review of the anthropological concept of technique. The result of this reflection is an interpretation of information technology as culture and an identification of possible meeting points which allow understanding the phenomena enclosed in cyberculture, from a cultural -like perspective.

Keywords : technique; information technology; cyberculture.
