Resumen
El amanecer de todo, de David Graeber y David Wengrow, ofrece un saludable correctivo a la teoría política moderna, con su elección entre dos formas del “estado de naturaleza”: La visión negativa de Hobbes de seres humanos sedientos de sangre mantenidos a raya sólo por el poder violento del soberano, y la visión aparentemente más positiva de Rousseau de seres humanos naturalmente iguales corrompidos por la introducción de la agricultura y la metalurgia. Sin embargo, la alternativa que ofrecen -un mundo de humanos imaginativos y experimentales que eligen libremente diferentes formas de sociedad- resta excesiva importancia al papel político mediador de las cosas no humanas. Este movimiento, a su vez, depende excesivamente de una ontología modernista que opone el pensamiento humano libre a las cosas mecánicamente deterministas. Basándose en las ideas de la teoría del actor-red, este artículo defiende el papel central de los objetos inanimados en la esfera política
