Resumo
The question about whether there is a political unconscious can be understood in two ways. First, it could refer to whether our unconscious (in the Freudian or Lacanian sense) is political. Secondly, the question could mean: are there political (social, economic...) structures, institutions, and processes that are unconscious, in the sense that we do not perceive them “normally” (whatever that means exactly) nor reflect on them? I want to focus on this second meaning and, above all, discuss the question of whether "technology is society made durable" (Latour). In other words: is technology a manifestation of the political unconscious?
