Una aproximación sociosemiótica a la neuromutación digital Moya Mellado, Ignacio Alberto Prótesis digital Embodiment Smartphone Neuromutación Cibercultura Cibercuerpo Digital prosthesis Embodiment Smartphone Neuromutation Cyberculture Cyberbody This study investigates the impact of smartphones as digital prostheses in contemporary society from a socio-semiotic perspective. It explores how these devices transform the relationship between the body and technology, using concepts such as “affordance” and “embodiment.” It is argued that this interaction can generate an anthropological neuromutation, influencing emotional, cognitive, and identity aspects. The concepts of cyberculture, cyberspace, cybertime, and cyberbody will be used for the exploration and analysis of this phenomenon. The methodology involves a multimodal semiotic analysis of the content present in digital surveys and semi-structured interviews. Two categories of signs are identified: “The Essential,” which reveal the necessity of the prosthesis in daily and work life, and “The Irreversible,” which reflect concerns about chronic dependency and unknown effects. The results highlight the transformation of the cultural landscape due to neuromutation, with particular emphasis on the importance of considering demographic variables such as age, gender, and class.

Este estudio investiga el impacto de los smartphones como prótesis digitales en la sociedad contemporánea desde una perspectiva sociosemiótica. Explora cómo estos dispositivos transforman la relación entre el cuerpo y la tecnología, utilizando conceptos como "affordance" y "embodiment". Se argumenta que esta interacción puede generar una neuromutación antropológica, influyendo en aspectos emocionales, cognitivos e identitarios. Los conceptos de cibercultura, ciberespacio, cibertiempo y cibercuerpo serán utilizados para la exploración y análisis de este fenómeno. La metodología se realiza desde un análisis semiótico multimodal del contenido presente en encuestas digitales y entrevistas semiestructuradas. Se identifican dos categorías de signos y discursos: "Lo Imprescindible", que revelan la necesidad de la prótesis en la vida diaria y laboral, y "Lo Irreversible", que reflejan preocupaciones sobre la dependencia crónica y los efectos desconocidos. Los resultados resaltan la transformación del paisaje cultural debido a la neuromutación, con especial énfasis en la importancia de considerar variables demográficas como edad, género y clase. El estudio sugiere la relevancia antropológica de este fenómeno en la sociedad contemporánea. Universidad Nacional del Nordeste.
