EL FUTURO ES LO COMÚN PROPUESTA METODOLÓGICA PARA UNA SEMIÓTICA DE LOS ARTEFACTOS POSI-BLES EN EL POST-CAPITALISMO

The aim of this article is to propose a methodology that allows for speculative reflection on a technological praxis of the commons. Contemporary efforts to imagine an alternative future to the capitalist order have produced a wide variety of proposals. These efforts aim not only to improve democratic self-governance but also to consider these concepts as models of self-governance capable of generating new forms of post-capitalist meaning. This includes new forms of relationship between pro-duction, nature, and the use of time, as well as the creation and adaptation of technologies such as blockchain, basic income, and community curren-cies. Although there are semiotic studies on technologies, the specific ex-amination of commons technologies as agents of change in future social organization is lacking. Therefore, this article seeks to fill the gap in semiotic research on the role of commons technologies in conceiving an alternative future. To achieve this, Greimasian or structural semiotic perspec-tives on technology and tools were first reviewed. Subsequently, a methodological proposal was developed to discuss the role of these technologies in the construction of a post-capitalist future, understanding the commons as community-based and identifying practices.
