| description | The information surplus generated by the explosion of new information and communication technologies to which society is exposed has led to an unprecedented attention shortage. Technological oligopolies compete with each other with the intention of capturing social attention and keeping users looking at their content for as long as possible. In this context, the use of algorithms and other tools that design personalized instant gratification seems to be directing people's will and intervening in decision-making. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to carry out a bibliographic review and some reflections on the consequences and challenges that the attention economy poses for democracy and collective identities, mainly in relation to social control.

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.
