Sociedade Da Transparência by Byung-Chul Han
A critique of the contemporary cult of transparency, arguing that the compulsion to disclose, quantify, and communicate everything functions as a subtle technology of control. By normalizing self-exposure on digital platforms, it replaces trust with surveillance, turns individuals into self-exploiting performers, and erodes privacy, otherness, and the generative power of secrecy and eros. The result is a flattened public sphere governed by positivity and metrics, where conformity, anxiety, and burnout intensify while truth, freedom, and meaningful social bonds diminish.
