Analítica de lo moderno: Una introducción

Analytics of the modern: An introduction

Este texto plantea la relevancia de abordar la modernidad como objeto etnográfco, esto es, examinarla desde discursos y prácticas situadas. Esta etnografía se inspira en un enfoque foucaultiano donde la gubernamentalidad es una categoría clave. Desde esta perspectiva, se propone un abordaje que examine tres dimensiones analíticas de la modernidad. En primera instancia están las razones de gobierno; esta dimensión reúne todas aquellas formas de conocimiento, de experticia y de cálculo que hacen posible que pensemos a los seres humanos como susceptibles de programación política. En segundo lugar están las técnicas de gobierno; al ámbito de lo técnico pertenecen los mecanismos prácticos, los instrumentos y los programas por medio de los cuales autoridades de distintos tipos buscan dar forma e instrumentalizar la conducta humana. Finalmente están los sujetos de gobierno; esta dimensión cubre los diversos tipos de identidad individual y colectiva que emergen a partir de, y al mismo tiempo sustentan, la actividad gubernamental.
