Resumo: A significant amount of traces of our actions are generated, monitored and treated daily on the Internet, creating huge archives of our way of life. These digital traces have been appropriated by many different fields: surveillance, advertising, entertainment, services etc. Yet they also have been a valuable source of research in human and social sciences. The value of these traces is related to the knowledge they provide, which is the focus of a series of disputes. This article confronts two models of knowledge in this area, which have different implications for a policy of the digital traces. The first model, that is present in commercial and police apparatus, conceives the trace as an evidence linked to individuals and/ or behavioral patterns. The second one, which is the main object of our interest and inspired by the actor-network theory, understands the traces as inscriptions of actions that allow us to describe the formation of sociotechnical collectives.

Estos rastros digitales vienen siendo apropiados por diversos campos: vigilancia, publicidad, entretenimiento, servicios, etc. También vienen siendo una fuente valiosa de investigación en las ciencias humanas y sociales. El valor de estos rastros está vinculado al conocimiento que posibilitan y hay en este ámbito una serie de embates. Este artículo se enfrenta a dos modelos de conocimiento, que tienen implicaciones diferenciadas para una política de los rastros digitales. El primero, vigente en los aparatos comerciales y policiales, concibe el rastro como evidencia vinculada al individuo y / oa patrones conductuales. El segundo, objeto mayor de nuestro interés e inspirado en la teoría actor-red, entiende los rastros como inscripciones de acciones que permiten describir la formación de colectivos sociotécnicos.Um volume expressivo de rastros de nossas ações é gerado, monitorado e tratado cotidianamente na internet constituindo imensos arquivos sobre nossos modos de vida.
