Francisco Tirado and Martín Mora
This book examines the various forms of appearance of the social in the normative academic tradition up to the constitution of two contemporary figures: cyborgs and extitutions. With the cyborg, a figure that has been recently incorporated into the social sciences, it is possible to think of the event as a social form and to generate groups which, unlike institutions, accept the event as a possible form for their explanation: the extitutions. On the understanding that extitutions are like the global pole of cyborgs, a provocative new proposal is offered here to analyse the emerging social forms in this new century.
