Where are social policies? About State interventions and digitization processes in 4.0 societies

Abstract

This paper analyzes the digitalization processes that involve social policies in their life cycle, from their inscription in what has been called 4.0 societies. The work is the product of e-interviews conducted with recipients of state interventions. It is concluded that: a) virtual environments constitute other spaces for the deployment of social policies that acquire relevant meanings and meanings for the study of their life cycle; b) the techniques involved in their study are part of a construction of the object of study that takes into account society 4.0 as the context of registration; and c) virtual environments are not devoid of interests, which, translated into algorithms, produce social stratification and distribute different capitals among users.
