    Affordance is power: contradictions between communicational and technical dimensions of whatsApp’s end-to-end encryption
    (SAGE Publications, 2018) Santos, Marcelo; Faure, Antoine
    WhatsApp’s implementation of end-to-end encryption has been celebrated by many. Intriguingly, though, the invisible affordance was made visible with an individual message to each conversation. In this research, we “properly scrutinize” the roll-out of the affordance in historical perspective inspired by the “platform biography” approach, critically comparing corporate and media documentation with an analysis of the attributes and affordances that refer to the realm of privacy and security with focus on the end-to-end encryption. After pointing the contradictions with evidences found, we conclude that the implementation should be interpreted neither as a plain idealistic saga for user privacy and security by the App’s founders nor as simply a market-oriented approach—though both are clearly components of the company’s motives—but as a strategic move inserted in a: (1) Public Relations guerrilla strategy from WhatsApp Inc. facing national States and respective intelligence agencies or law enforcement institutions, in which context the development and implementation of affordances reveals a (2) power move by corporate digital media to avoid political conflict against vigilante state power and therefore the App’s subsistent vulnerabilities in terms of privacy and security should be read as (3) a tradeoff between commercial massiveness at the expense of technological utopia.

    ¿Una historia de las temporalidades de los periodistas chilenos (1973-2013)?
    (Universidad de Santiago de Chile, 2018) Faure, Antoine
    Sobre la base de los debates en torno al interés de una historia de las comunicaciones, y sus territorios en el caso chileno, se hace la propuesta de una arqueología del periodismo a partir del estudio de la transformación de sus temporalidades. Se apuesta a que este enfoque permite enriquecer el análisis de la relación entre periodismo y política. Para defenderlo, se justifica el interés de desarrollar una histórica de las temporalidades periodísticas para superar las lecturas de la novedad tecnológica, y se presentan los objetivos, la hipótesis de un proyecto de investigación incipiente, sobre el caso chileno (1973-2013).
