Polarización artificial: cómo los discursos expresivos inflaman la percepción de polariza-ción política en internet
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
En este trabajo analizo el fenómeno de la polarización política en internet. Argumento que el enfoque centrado en el filtro burbuja y las cámaras de eco tiene carencias. Para corregirlas, propongo el concepto de polarización artificial. Este concepto define el proceso por el que los usos expresivos de la comunicación, como discursos incendiarios o el exhibicionismo moral, provocan formas ficticias de polarización. Reconocer la polarización artificial permitirá comprender mejor los procesos de polarización en la red y sus efectos sobre el debate democrático.
