Sumario:This text intends to present and analyze a certain pilgrimage of the form and content of the almanac that, historically, takes on new thematic outlines over time, preserving from its ancient traditions almost only the encyclopedic, informative character and the temporal perspective of seasonal publication timeline, such as the yearbook. The objective is to demonstrate that the almanac works as a vehicle for bringing together communities and, for that very reason, as a builder of a community – for the algorithmic generation of bubbles and patterns of living and consumption. With different experiences, communication systems like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram seem to configure the technological version corresponding to the manakh of our days. Each of these networks works as a space where we gather around individual experiences and information around increasingly specific themes and interests. They are places of discourse and language that enable the construction of dialogues, meetings, entire communities formed by subjects of an infinite nomadism who walk restlessly in search of possibilities of knowledge and communion.
