The planet is experiencing a process of social metamorphosis on a global scale. Some of the features of the transformations taking place in this current social structuration process include the expansion of the 4.0 revolution and its impact on productivity and labour, the massification of a political economy of morality based on non-truth, the growing number of refugees and migrants around the world, military tensions, and wars of a multilateral natureOne of the consequences and central effects of the relations between 4.0 society, digital labour and structuration social process are the changes in the politics of sensibilities. And if we know that these politics ?are understood as the set of cognitive-affective social practices tending to the production, management and reproduction of horizons of action, disposition and cognition? (see below) reflect on the changes mentioned is essential to understand the current situation of society.In this context we detect that in the existing literature there is a lack: research and pointing out how the politics of sensibilities to be altered by the current situation of 4.0 society and digital labour imply substantial changes in the lives of individuals, groups and society in general . Just as an example, this implies that we also have to analyze the situation of the geometries of the bodies, the grammar of the actions, the policies of the bodies/emotions in relation to what was the digital era, the digital platform, teleworking , etc. modify in the life of each day. In this proposal we choose to deepen the study of the politics of the sensibilities since it is a ?little known? perspective and "in short" is the articulation that we detected as absent in the current analysis on the connections between society 4.0 and digital work.From a general point of view the proposal involves reviewing the impact of digitization, connectivity and communication of society 4.0 in the transformations of modes of managing borders, the ways that fear and terror appear in and through the world virtual, the ways of redefining time and space in the context of access to "digital territories", the socio-productive implications of outsourcing, in the creative and software industries as examples of the alterations in the politics of the sensibilities.
