Technicality, information theory and tradition in the zapatista movement of national liberation: the powers of a new possible (informational) world.

Abstract

Starting from a theoretical reflection with an empirical contribution of the social world understanding, the work intends to bring the questions that guide the poles from technophobia to technophilia, or to pan-technique, in the contemporary world. Originating mainly from Simondon's philosophy, the theoretical axis aims to understand a notion of technique driven by the primacy of encounters and to the infinity of diversity in the events  inside and outside, which appear and disappear successively and simultaneously in the informational plane. An “information” Simondonian theory opens up the margins of compositions capable of producing any configurations for becomings - the life-generating power, that is, the texture between proximities and distances, matter and energy that constantly cross and update themselves on the individuation mainstays of human and non-human. The empirical axis finds in the Zapatista experience, that is, in the production of an autonomic guerrilla, an original and open relationship, like the Simondonian view of technique, which does not maintain the pre-capitalist past or the premodern structures  as untouchable. It is a matter of recognizing technomagic as a possibility of investigation within the interpenetration between technology and cosmovisions, a theoretical-social movement of a community in its struggle against domination and institutionalized oppression.
