PELLANDA, Nize Maria Campos  y  DEMOLY, Karla Rosane do Amaral. Touch technology: body, cognition and subjectivity. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2014, vol.26, n.1, pp. 69-89. ISSN 0103-5665.

This paper deals with the composing of a theoretical framework to support an empirical research that uses the "touch technologies" with the goal of mobilizing, cognitively and affectively, subjects with cognitive pathologies, mainly autism. The epistemological structure of the research is based on a complex approach stressing the idea of the necessity of articulating dimensions of the human being that were severed in the modernity. Then, departing from of the assumption mind-body unity by Spinoza, the authors approach the recent studies of neurosciences, until the studies of biology in a cybernetic perspective by H. Atlan, H. Maturana and F. Varela ("Complexification from the noisy" and "Biology of Cognition" theories) in order to show that the relationship between the touch and the technical object implies in integration of another dimensions. The article rescues the technology from the modern "resentment" to show the complexity of a new paradigm that sees in the technical objet a strengthen of the human being.

Palabras clave : touch technologies; cognitive pathologies; complexification from noisy; Biology of cognition.
