Abstract

This work has the purpose to analyze the contemporary cultural dynamics, deeply marked by the relation between space and time, as well as by new connections between identity flows and technology. Believing that the temporality in which we live has volatility between the commodities as well as highlights new forms of sociability that redefine the individual’s lives, unattached to their respective ages. In the current context of globalization, where lass defined borders presents themselves, in relation to 

physical and territorial demarcation, we can establish that the dynamics of culture gains other concepts and articulations that go beyond the traditions as well as belongings. In this scenario, this paper aims to develop a critique of the economic model that bases an ideology of progress (growth), but does not deal with many other emergencies that arise in other fields of reflection as ecological, cultural, and informational.
