RUEDA ORTIZ, Rocío. Information societies and knowledge: technicality, pharmakon and social invention. Nómadas [online]. 2012, n.36, pp.43-55. ISSN 0121-7550.

This text is a theoretical consideration that looks to traverse, from a critical perspective, the neutral hegemonic discourses about information society and knowledge. To do this, we propose two motions: 1) conduct a genealogical approach of current technicality regarding a type of knowledge economy, 2) observe in that technicality expressions of politics and of singular and collective subjectivity, highlighting ambiguities and paradoxes of the double trends that shape them. Finally, it presents some subjective considerations from Latin American experience.

Keywords : technicality; information technology and communication; pharmakon; subjectivity; device.
