| Summary: | This article proposes a confrontation with the contemporary debate, in the sense that it focuses on the cultural and transnational dimensions of the devices. By mapping the main theoretical conceptions about “truth effect” and performativity, a front is introduced that seeks answers to the technological domination, or, in other words, the socio-technique of devices in modernity. The importance of the state is undeniable. By inducing markets into the use of metrics and devices, given their regulatory role, states become targets of their own devices. Finally, a brief contextual picture of the implications of devices is presented – it is nothing less than a reflection on the stratifying effects of economic classifications, on classification situations that that try to retain and dominate the state acting as “multiple hands” that even shape opportunities for the future and life of people. |
