Tecnología como proyecto territorial de conquista y espacio como producción política
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article analyses the territorial logic embodied in technology to understand the implications of its production, use and expansion for the practice of an other conviviality and sustainable forms of life. Bridging political economy, political philosophy, postcolonial critique and critical approaches to technology and environment, the article questions anthropocentric, theological and economic assumptions at the basis of technological construction. Drawing on the notions of space as produced by political action and conquest as structure and organising principle, it is argued that technology presents itself as exacerbation and mobilisation of a territorial project of conquest, unfinished but constant and expansive, which ignores and destroys the sustaining conditions of a shared existence.
