¿Por qué ha disminuido el consumo de #noticias en medios tradicionales? 🗞️🤔
En este artículo publicado en el último número se analiza el debate académico latinoamericano en torno al tema.
Léelo aquí 😉: cuadernosinfo.uc.cl/index.ph…

Is TikTok the new TV? In this new paper, @luvalealfa and I explore how people watch television on TikTok through algorithmic flows, “uncommitted attention,” and cross-platform practices. Out today in @tvnewmedia! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
Our new paper in @CogitatioMaC explores why people rewatch content and how streaming platforms provide ontological comfort. Read it for free here: cogitatiopress.com/mediaandc…

The authors explore how algorithms shape experiences of truth in Costa Rica, analyzing "factishes"—data, affect, and mysticism—through ethnographic stories and a novel "ventriloquist" approach.🤖

El team latinoamericano presente en #AOIR2024. @isiles @artarriagada presentando sus investigaciones sobre comunicación digital en Costa Rica y Chile. Orgulloso de ver cómo el campo sigue creciendo de la mano de grandes referentes.
Our latest paper, co-authored with @fer_salas1 & @silviowaisbord, examines how migrants navigate information precarity and disinformation on their journey to the US-Mexico border. We explore how sociocultural beliefs shape their experiences and decisions.

How do algorithms shape the experience of facts? In this article, just published in @TapuyaLASTS, we explore the role of algorithms in mediating three kinds of “factishes”: data truths, affective facts, and mystic revelations. w/ @Imagenaciones+@rmnzgnzlz

The article unfolds as a series of stories that capture interactions between Costa Ricans and the algorithms of social media platforms. We argue that algorithms enable individuals to navigate composite realities rather than merely conflating truth and fiction.
This paper is a part of the "Future of Facts in Latin America" initiative led by @aballes2, @edenmedina, and @krether. Honored to be part of this amazing group of scholars! 🌟

🧵 Summary thread below
Gracias a @amidi_com por la invitación a conversar y por un diálogo tan enriquecedor para mí. 🙏🏾
¿Existe una domesticación mutua al relacionarnos, como personas usuarias, con los #algoritmos? ¿Cómo estudiarla?
En el nuevo episodio de #AMIMeImporta charlamos sobre esto con Ignacio Siles, autor de «Vivir con algoritmos: plataformas digitales y cultura en Costa Rica». 👇
Much has been said about TikTok changing the music industry. Our new paper, out today in @IJoC_USC, dives into this transformation. We empirically analyze how users discover, explore, and integrate music from TikTok and other platforms into their lives: ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/arti…
We use this case to explore broader dynamics at the heart of how people interact with platforms: the reflexive relationship with algorithms in daily life, how platform affordances align with cultural consumption patterns, and the intricate interconnections across various apps.
Co-written with the amazing @luvalealfa and @artarriagada, and now available in Open Access!
Excited to contribute to this special issue alongside a fantastic group of researchers, exploring issues of agency in datafied societies!
Our special issue "Agency in Datafied Societies" has now been published in @Convergence_NMT—most of the articles #OpenAccess. It is about #agency with regard to #algorithms, #ComAI, personal assistants, service technologies, #social #media and more: journals.sagepub.com/toc/con…
Muy honrado por la invitación de @Contratexto_UL y @juliussinmundo para escribir un #TráilerConceptual sobre el concepto de "domesticación mutua" entre algoritmos y personas. Pueden leerlo #OpenAccess en el n. 41 de la revista:

Excited to share our new paper in @IJCS_journal, co-authored with the amazing @vanessa_valiati, @luvalealfa, and Amanda Ferreira, on the tensions that characterize research on algorithms and platforms in Latin America! ✨✨ journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

@isiles propone reflexionar sobre los algoritmos desde la domesticación mutua: los algoritmos están diseñados para convertir a las personas en consumidores ideales; los usuarios promulgan recomendaciones algorítmicas de formas particulares a medida que las incorporan a su vida – at Panama
Grateful to Mónica Humeres for her insightful review of "Living with Algorithms" in Technology and Culture, and how the book "makes us consider that the appropriation of algorithms is built on the depths of our desire for connection": muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/9…
