Infodemiology, Infodemics, Pandemics, Platform CapitalismAbstract
This article investigates the initial stages of a new field of knowledge called infodemiology. Particularly, it seeks to trace the development of infodemiology as the scientific discourse of managing infodemics. This new field of knowledge is being developed, structured, and publicized by the Information Network for Epidemics, a department of WHO, UN, and UNESCO. As the informational outbreak surges, the infodemiological discourse slowly enters the fabric of scientific knowledge, governance protocols, and power institutions. The proposal here is to analyze the infodemiological discourse in its co-articulation with the political forces of the digital economy and the current platform capitalism
