Abstract

Within the framework of the global reconsideration of Simondonian thought on technique, the article reconstructs a series of readings deployed in Argentina in the last decade. Specifically, it analyzes the recovery and problematization of the concept of concretization, maps different lines of research and reflects on the tensions that this concept raises with the idea of the transindividual.
