«La sociedad de la transparencia» is the philosophical essay by Byung-Chul Han, published by Herder Editorial in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
Byung-Chul Han argues that transparency has become an economic imperative: when trust is lacking, society opts for surveillance and control, and the transparent loses its singularity by being reduced to price. Han describes Google and social networks as a digital panopticon of voluntary exposure, and sums up this panorama in the «infierno de lo igual».
First edition in 2013 within the Pensamiento Herder collection, translated from German by Raúl Gabás Pallas. The original title is Transparenzgesellschaft.
For readers interested in contemporary philosophy, social criticism, and the impact of technology and networks on public life.
Byung-Chul Han is a South Korean-born German philosopher, Catholic theologian and cultural theorist. He was a professor at the Berlin University of the Arts and still occasionally gives courses there. His work largely centers around critiques of neoliberalism and its impact on society and the individual. Although he writes in German, his books have been best received in the Hispanosphere.
