Abstract
Esta es una investigación sobre la sociedad digital, aquella en la que la mayoría de los procesos están mediados o influidos de algún modo por las tecnologías digitales. Hasta ahora, los sociólogos estudiábamos la tecnología como un hecho social más. Sin embargo, hoy en día es difícil pensar en fenómenos que no incorporen mediación digital. Por ello, la sociología del siglo XXI necesita renovar sus esquemas de análisis para incorporar la dimensión tecnológica, sin por ello desatenderla tradición sociológica, sino todo lo contrario.La Sociología de las instituciones digitales apunta en esta dirección, proponiendo un marco de análisis institucional al estudio de las prácticas digitales. En el capítulo 1 desarrollamos este enfoque teórico. Argumentamos que Internet no puede ser comprendido como un “nuevo medio de comunicación”, ni siquiera como nuevo entorno de interacción. Tiene que ser entendido como un complejo entramado institucional, que incorpora medios técnicos, pero que es ante todo resultado de procesos de construcción social. En otras palabras, las instituciones preceden a los dispositivos.Por este motivo, necesitamos avanzar su conocimiento, diseccionarlas para ver cómo surgen, de qué se nutren y qué potencialidades movilizan...
This research is about Digital Society, that is, the one in which most social processes are, one wayor another, mediated or influenced by digital technologies. Until now, sociologists have studiedtechnology as one more social fact. However, nowadays it is difficult to think of any socialphenomenon that does not have a relationship to digital mediations. Therefore, sociology in the 21stCentury needs to add the study of the technological dimension, without neglecting knowledge fromthe sociological tradition.Sociology of digital institutions points in this direction, proposing a framework ofinstitutional analysis for digital practices. In chapter 1 we develop the theoretical approach, arguingthat the Internet cannot be completely understood as “new media” or even as a new socialenvironment. It has to be understood as a complex institutional framework, which incorporatestechnical means, but that is ultimately the result of processes of social construction. In other words,technological institutions precede devices. For this reason, we need to improve our knowledgeabout them, dissecting them to see how they work, what they live on and what potential theymobilize...
