Abstract

According to Vilém Flusser, living with communicative devices of null-dimensional characteristics bring us to a challenge: to reflect on the bodies sensory. In the contemporary context, characterized by the weakening of communicative bonds, the study of what are called media studies remains limited when the horizons of body experience are not considered. In search for clues for the evolution of potentiality of the communication bonds processes it is observed that there are some aspects of the culture of listening and, as detailed by Dietmar Kamper, this make us to think about the possibility of questioning about the eye space fixation, strengthening the ear capabilities.
