Infraestrutura, Tecnopolítica, Biopolítica, Estética e Tecnologia

Resumo

Infraestruturas são formas materiais que permitem trocas por meio do espaço. Elas são redes físicas através das quais mercadorias, ideias, lixo, energia, pessoas e capitais financeiros circulam. Neste artigo, mapeio a literatura antropológica que busca teorizar a infraestrutura a partir da biopolítica, dos estudos de ciência e tecnologia e das teorias de tecnopolítica. Também examino outros aspectos das infraestruturas que proporcionam diferentes significados e estruturas políticas por meio das dimensões estética, sensorial, do desejo e da promessa.
