FUNDAMENTALS FOR THE PROBLEMATIZATION OF PERCEPTION AND ATTENTION IN THE CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT

ABSTRACT

We sought to ground understanding concerning the social conditions of subjectivation in the contemporary world in light of issues concerning perception and attention. We consider the hypothesis that there is a crisis in our perceptive abilities to then present the theoretical basis for a study of a historical-social nature of perception and attention, and discuss, based on phenomenology, the theoretical relationships among the individual, joint and collective dimensions of perception and attention. Finally, we highlight the ethical impulse that permeates the psychosocial approach of the problem of perception and attention in the contemporary world.
