Resumo: This article of theoretical articulation, based on bibliographic research, focuses on the relation between control and agency on algorithmic platforms. Control involves the collection and analysis of data on user activities and interactions, aimed at discerning patterns and trends, which enables behaviors to be anticipated and guided, thus corresponding to an intensive and permanent surveillance apparatus. At the same time, each user has a certain level of agency, and by altering his course of action, can influence the way he is apprehended and therefore interpellated bythe platform. From this combination of factors emerges a paradigmatic model of algorithmic governance, consisting of a flexible form of control, modulated according to the user’s agency, which is expressed in the variability of his input – in other words, a control through agency.

O controle envolve a coleta e a análise de dados a partir das atividades e interações dos usuários, com o desígnio de discernir padrões e tendências, o que permite antecipar e direcionar comportamentos, correspondendo assim a um aparato de vigilância intensiva e permanente. Ao mesmo tempo, cada usuário possui certo nível de agência, podendo, ao alterar seu curso de ação, influenciar a maneira como ele é apreendido e, portanto, interpelado pela plataforma. Dessa combinação de fatores, emerge um modelo paradigmático de governança algorítmica, consistindo em um modo de controle flexível, modulado de acordo com a agência do usuário, que se expressa navariabilidade de seu input – em outras palavras, um controle via agência.PEPG COS-PUC-SP2020-07-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/galaxia/article/view/44064Galaxia; No. 44 (2020)GALÁxIA.
