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.

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.

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.

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:

We argue that platformization “doesn’t require tropical ambassadors but critical researchers who challenge and empirically investigate, more than reproduce, the premises on which its main logics and constitutive dynamics are predicated”.
