Abstract

This brief text presents the distance that exists between the emergence of a new political imperative —the need to adapt— which has been championed by technoliberalism and its institutions, through the strategy of technological solutionism. This implies a closure or shutting down of the political sphere, as the power to create and transform is limited to the provisions provided by technological tools. This distance is in contrast to the possibilities of social transformation, which requires the generation of new sensibilities that allow the political gesture to appear permanently, for example, through destituent action. It proposes a horizon from which to generate new discussions in order to prevent and avoid the closure that technoliberalism seeks to impose on the political gesture.
