CARVALHO, Cristina. THE CITY AND ITS MUSEUMS: COGNITION AND TECHNOLOGY IN QUESTION. Rev. Comunic [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.3, pp.85-103. ISSN 2238-121X.  https://doi.org/10.15600/2238-121X/comunicacoes.v24n2pxx-xx.

This article examines aspects related to non-formal educational spaces, from the perspective of “the educating city”, and the potentials of museums for using digital technologies in order to amplify educational experiences. From this perspective, specific experiences being developed in this field that incorporate the city as a communal environment of education and collective memory will be analyzed, particularly, with respect to the artefacts in which memory is incorporated and interpreted. The use of virtual environments and digital technology is increasingly frequent in museums, transforming bodily and cultural experience, and expanding the spaces of education.

Keywords : CITY; MUSEUMS; TECHNOLOGIES; COGNITION.
