  • Descrição: There is a dimension of violence internal to the functioning logic of technical systems and within the transparency of the instrumental vision of technology. Yet it is one of the centres of rotation of the mobile geography of global violence. This article aims to highlight this centre of mobilization of contemporary violence by identifying the neutral character of technical violence. Technical neutrality, being an instrumental field of operation, qualifies only on the basis of the qualities of meaning that move the action of violent subjects, be they individual or collective. In fact, each violent subject uses technologies to enhance the act of violation in order to impose a sense of his order of reality in the victim's sphere of life. However, it is precisely by serving the various ends that qualify the omnipotence of the violent subject that the technique systematically becomes their master. This reversal of the means-ends relationship is one of the accelerating factors of the innovation cycles of the forms of technical violence towards increasingly sophisticated and pervasive degrees. Moving in this problematic context, the article aims to understand how the technical metamorphoses of violence reconfigure the contemporary social bond as well as human identity.
