THE DILEMMA OF DIGITAL PLATFORMS AND NETWORKS
educational processes, teaching and neoliberalism
Abstract
The Social Dilemma, a Netflix documentary, warns how technology companies use the information of users to potentialize business. In this article, the objective is to analyze how digital platforms, inscribed in the neoliberal rationality, have produced other forms of teaching and educational processes. It is an exploratory study, following two movements. The first adopts algorithmicity (STALDER, 2018) and the Platformization of Society (VAN DIJCK, POELL AND WAAL, 2018) as structural characteristics in the meanings' production. The second, following Brown (2019), Dardot et.al (2021), Ball (2014), Foucault (1987; 2006), explores how digital technologies and the neoliberalism are attuned to characteristics incited in the subjects – flexibility, mobility, personalization. –, allowing to think about volatile teaching and educational processes, now no longer tied to physical spaces.
