Digital networks: a place of truth production in the contemporary?

This article aims to understand how the digital networks, tied to so many dreams and expectations, have been diluting themselves discursively in the social fabric to the point of constituting themselves as a possible place of veridiction in the contemporary. To this end, a number of advertising incitements to digital connection will be taken as a empirical field of research. The goal of this endeavor is to discuss a certain conception of network that, instead of constituting a theoretically horizontal zone, opens itself to materiality as an instance traversed by power relationships and, thus, as a producer of unevenness and conflicts.
