Reception date: 21/09/2023Acceptance date: 16/11/2023 El superávit informativo generado por la explosión de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación al que está expuesta la sociedad, ha derivado en una escasez atencional sin precedentes. Los oligopolios tecnológicos compiten entre sí con la intención de captar la atención social y mantener a los usuarios el mayor tiempo posible mirando sus contenidos. En este contexto, el uso de algoritmos y otras herramientas que diseñan gratificaciones instantáneas personalizadas, parece estar direccionando la voluntad de las personas e interviniendo en la toma de decisiones. Por ello, el propósito de este artículo es llevar a cabo una revisión bibliográfica y algunas reflexiones sobre las consecuencias y los desafíos que la economía de la atención plantea para la democracia y las identidades colectivas, principalmente en lo referido al control social.
