Abstract

En #Republic: Divided Democracy in the Age of Social Media, Cass R. Sunstein presenta uno de los fenómenos sociales que más repercusión han tenido en el debate en política durante los últimos años: las cámaras de eco. El presente trabajo tiene por objeto analizar la relación que existe entre este fenómeno y la polarización política, relación que a menudo pasa desapercibida en los debates políticos actuales. Para ello, primero expondré los mecanismos que subyacen a la creación de cámaras de eco descritos por Sunstein en su libro, y examinaré los problemas que estas pueden conllevar. Segundo, analizaré la relación entre cámaras de eco y polarización.

In #Republic: Divided Democracy in the Age of Social Media, Cass R. Sunstein presents a social phenomenon that has had a significant impact on the debate in politics during the last years: echo chambers. The purpose of this work is to analyze the relationship between this phenomenon and political polarization, something that often goes unnoticed in current political debates. To do this, I will first explain the mechanisms underlying the creation of echo chambers described by Sunstein in his book, then I will examine the problems they may entail. Second, I will analyze the connection between echo chambers and polarization.
