Tecnociencia y colonialismo en la historia de las Cinchona (2018)

unapi

En este artículo se reflexiona sobre la ciencia y tecnología (o tecnociencia) asociadas con el colonialismo. Se usa la metáfora de “capas de colonialismo” para aludir a ideas y prácticas asociadas con la tecnociencia que son continuamente innovadas, que pueden mantenerse o reaparecer en diferentes momentos, y que estructuran el hecho colonial. Se usa como caso la apropiación de plantas de quina (Cinchona spp.) en diferentes momentos entre los siglos XVI y XX. Algunas de las capas presentadas son: apropiación material del producto natural, deslocalización y relocalización del lugar de autoridad alrededor del mismo, soterramiento de los saberes y sabedores locales, inserción de ideas sobre lo que se debe hacer con esa naturaleza, quién y cómo debe apropiarla, no-transferencias de tecnología, fomento de proyectos sin mayores oportunidades, entre otras. En la historia de larga duración del colonialismo alrededor de la apropiación de las quinas, se enfatiza en capas que emergen o reemergen en momentos clave
