Quase um tique: economia da atenção, vigilância e espetáculo em uma rede social

Abstract

"Quase um tique" brings an accurate analysis of the mix between surveillance, visibility and spectacle that marks our relationships with and through social media. Based on Anna Bentes' elegant writing, we follow the paths of desire, need, will, compulsion and addiction that hook 'digital influencers' and 'ordinary users' of Instagram to the mechanisms of the attention economy, constitutive of contemporary subjectivation. A fundamental book for anyone who wants to research the internet and for everyone who seeks to understand the world we live in.
