Abstract

The following text reflects on three key aspects: digital culture, digital rhetoric, and the relationship between social ecosystems (or complex systems) and affordances, understood as an arrangement or environmental design for the specific practices of different topics in societies. The proposal of this text is that digital rhetoric should study firstly the relationship on how we read, name, and inhabit the world in the context of body deterritorialization and digital relocation. This establishes an ethos, while digital narratives articulate the construction of complex social ecosystems. From the ground, the affordances allow and had re-localized the very mindset of societies, generating from educational spaces the digital culture understood as digital skills. Digital culture is not referred to a capital of “digital culture”, but to different epistemic, ethical, and reading practices of the world. Therefore, digital culture is not extraordinary, but rather an everyday occurrence.
