This article emerges at the interface between current literature -mostly Anglo-Saxon- on datafication and Eliseo Verón's perspective, seen as a Latin American contribution that offers theoretical and empirical opportunities for the critical discussion of datafication processes. Following the Veronian view, reflection on data production, circulation, and recognition helps denature the idea that data are neutral or compact to make visible the conditions from which these data are provided with meaning as socially and culturally situated discursive constructs. Compared to other Anglo-Saxon standpoints that seem more prevalent in academia -such as Hall's encoding/decoding model-, this article revisits Verón's meaning-circulation connection as an alternative to describe the interpretation processes that consolidate data as speeches. Therefore, it provides a starting point for further theoretical developments and empirical research and broadens Eliseo Verón's perspective to add to and enrich open debates on datafication and its forms of discrimination.

Palabras clave : Datafication; gap; mediatization; sense; theory.
