Digitalizing deals with the problem of memory. We are going through a terrible cultural, economical and social crisis because of the idea of memory we are dealing with.

Above all, a database is, anyhow, expression of a social and economical culture; but, at the same time, it supports and promotes specific social and economical realities. From this point of view, communication should become more and more a dialogue, a conversation between different subjects; and social media, actually, may empower this use of new technologies.

Abstract

Digitalizing deals with the problem of memory. We are going through a terrible cultural, economical and social crisis because of the idea of memory we are dealing with. We are confusing the storage of information with the project of memory (of good memory). We think that data (and big data in particular) are neutral. On the contrary, we have to underscore that database is always a text, with its vision, with its ideological interpretation of reality. Above all, a database is, anyhow, expression of a social and economical culture; but, at the same time, it supports and promotes specific social and economical realities. From this point of view, communication should become more and more a dialogue, a conversation between different subjects; and social media, actually, may empower this use of new technologies.
