This qualitative research, carried out during the years 2019/2020 based on observations and semi-structured online and offline interviews, contributes to technological, cultural and affective reflections on the shaping of the gaze as a regulation mechanism in social networks. It reflects on the way in which what has been published responds to hegemonic aesthetics of beauty, class, consumption, and capacity, in a neoliberal context where individualism and liberal politicization of bodies prevails, as well as the uncertainty of the flexibility and lability of social rights that encourage self-demanding and individual responsibility for the trajectories that are built. Desde un enfoque feminista y sociológico de las estructuras socioeconómicas y de las emociones tanto como de las nuevas tecnologías, este trabajo indaga en las imágenes que se publican en Instagram como estrategia para captar la mirada, capitalizable en seguidores y likes, en jóvenes de entre 20 y 35 años. Esta investigación, de carácter cualitativa, realizada durante los años 2019/2020 con base en observaciones y entrevistas semiestructuradas online y offline, contribuye a reflexiones tecnológicas, culturales y afectivas sobre la conformación de la mirada como mecanismo de regulación en redes sociales. Reflexiona sobre la manera en que lo publicado responde a estéticas hegemónicas de belleza, clase, consumos y capacitismos, en un contexto neoliberal donde prima el individualismo y la politización liberal de los cuerpos, la incertidumbre de la flexibilización y labilidad de los derechos sociales que fomentan la autoexigencia y la responsabilidad individual por las trayectorias que se logran construir.
