To speak of apparatuses, institutions, and infrastructures is to speak of forms of power that shape ways of life. At a moment marked by the exhaustion of democratic institutions, technological concentration, the expansion of artificial intelligence, the financialization of the economy, ecological collapse, and ever more sophisticated forms of necropolitics, power multiplies like a hydra and enters our bodies in subtle and persistent ways.<\/p>\n

For Giorgio Agamben, following Michel Foucault, an\u00a0apparatus<\/em>\u00a0is anything capable of capturing, orienting, or shaping gestures, behaviors, and discourses: from a prison or a hospital to an algorithm or language itself. If the apparatus is the tool of capture, the institution is the structure that stabilizes it; infrastructure is the set of material, economic, technological, affective, and territorial conditions that make its functioning possible. Far from being a mere support, infrastructures organize circulation, distribute resources, and produce forms of dependence. But if, as Ursula K. Le Guin wrote, the first human technology was a container before it was a spear, perhaps we should think of infrastructures as that which makes it possible to contain, transmit, and care when the conditions of collective life are increasingly difficult to guarantee.<\/p>\n

This is what\u00a0Concreta 27<\/em>\u00a0is about. But it is also about imagining other ways of instituting, inhabiting the cracks in the system, and disturbing the habits of the\u00a0police-institution<\/em>, to put it with Ranci\u00e8re.<\/p>\n
