Abstract

The article presents some theoretical and methodological lines to reflect on the production, mediation and appropriation of knowledge and the configuration of information and communication web devices, within the context of digital literacy. Therefore, it recovers the idea of social epistemology, coined by two founders of information studies field, Shera J. and M. Egan, updated by authors of information and philosophy, in order to reflect on how the epistemic forms are related to social and institutional practices. This was considered a promising avenue to explore and understand the ways of being of digital spaces and their media. Finally, we explore some studies of the French line of Information and Communication Sciences, specifically the concepts of infocommunicational device; digital culture; text; hypertext; and architext, in order to reflect on the structural forms of writings and lectures on the web. If the social epistemology directs a study program on the issues of access, production and dissemination of knowledge, the research on forms of writing indicates theoretical and practical ways to understand and practice the writings on the web.
