Abstract
LICEAGA MENDOZA, Rodrigo Iván. Slavery and technology. A philosophical, political and ecological approach. Andamios [online]. 2022, vol.19, n.48, pp.183-206. Epub Oct 17, 2022. ISSN 2594-1917. https://doi.org/10.29092/uacm.v19i48.900.
In times of pervasive digital and technological expansion and ecological crises, this article analizes from a politico-philosophical and politico-ecological perspective how slavery and technology share a form of constituting the relation between human and nature. Through the analysis of the shared metaphysical and socio-ecological traits between slavery and technology, the article contributes to better understand the implications of technological expansion and argues that technology and slavery silence and disrupt the situated bodies and ecological arrays of relationships from which their functional components are extracted, producing rupture and distance among the multiplicities of interactions and beings that sustain the origins of technological artefacts’ components to appropriate them as instruments elsewhere.
Keywords : Instrumentality; anthropogenesis; unequal ecological exchange; natures; bodies.
