Abstract

This commentary on the article by Rossana Reguillo, “Essays on the abyss: Politics of gaze, violence, technopolitics,” analyzes the author’s investigation into the methods of looking at violence and technopolitics in the history of anthropology and other social sciences in Mexico. How to combine the various strategies to capture complexity? This also looks at the role of affections and electronic corporations in segmentation and totalizations of material or symbolic goods and political views, as well as when efforts are made to administer diversity.
