SCHROTER, Jens. Is there a political unconscious in technology?. Rev. Guillermo Ockham [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.2, pp.297-303.  Epub 26-Ago-2022. ISSN 1794-192X.  https://doi.org/10.21500/22563202.5849.

The question if there is a political unconscious can be understood in two ways. First, it could be the question if our unconscious (in a Freudian or Lacanian way) is political. Secondly, the question could mean: Are there political (social, economic…) structures, institutions, and processes that are unconscious, in the sense that we ‘normally’ (whatever that exactly means) do not perceive and reflect on them? I want to focus on this second meaning and especially discuss the question if ‘technology is society made durable’ (Latour, 1991). To put it differently: Is technology a form of the political unconscious?

Palabras clave : political; technology; philosophy.
