Resumo

O conceito de Capitalismo de Vigilância revela a lógica de acumulação capitalista das grandes corporações digitais baseada no rastreamento dos usuários da internet, na extração de dados pessoais e na mudança de comportamento. O objetivo deste artigo é questionar o conceito a partir de uma perspectiva que considera a participaçãos dos usuários da internet na própria vigilância. A nova abordagem proposta resulta de uma concepção do neoliberalismo como a racionalidade do capitalismo contemporâneo que exige uma nova ordem subjetiva ancorada na produção de uma sociedade formada por indivíduos-empresa envolvidos ininterruptamente no desenvolvimento de seus capitais humanos para concorrência nas relações sociais em todas as esferas de existência. Assim, a vigilância online conduzida pelas grandes corporações e a expropriação da experiência humana que ela acarreta, é apenas uma parte da história. A outra parte é a eterna busca de desempenho individual nas relações dos indivíduos com os outros e consigo mesmos.
