The paper proposes a reflection on the configuration of temporality in 21st century Latin American narratives that, directly or indirectly, fictionalize recent historical events. We start from the hypothesis that, in these narratives, through a phantasmatic aesthetic that metaphorizes bodies, the past gains centrality as a temporal dimension that imposes itself on the present. To develop this hypothesis, contemporary cinematographic and literary works will be put into dialogue, such as the films Aranha, by Andrés Wood, A Chorona, by Jayro Bustamante, and novels, such as O corpo interminável, by Cláudia Lage, Degeneração, by Fernando Bonassi.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between data practice and algorithmic actions on digital platforms. For this purpose, we do a descriptive analysis of Instagram documents that are addressed to its users, identifying what suggests action and practical consequence of digital materialities in terms of production, sharing and collection. Through them we identify the centrality of experience in this kind of informational construct developed in relation to datafication processes - which we call algorithmic experience. From a pragmatist and neomaterialist perspective, we suggest following this experience to understand the practical differences produced in the use of digital platforms and identifying relevant interactions in situated practices.
