Resumen

En este artículo se analiza cómo en América Latina los vehículos aéreos no tripulados o drones introducen una mirada vertical que fusiona capas de información geográfica, social y político-económica en un modelo tridimensional. Esta política de verticalidad –donde el Estado otorga un papel relevante a la mirada desde lo alto, como criterio de observación e intervención sobre espacios y grupos sociales–, introduce criterios novedosos para la gestión de fronteras, el desarrollo de políticas de seguridad y el control de la protesta social. Se muestra cómo los drones no sólo descontextualizan las dinámicas e identidades sociales, sino que las definen como “objetivos” o targets, en una clara exportación y adecuación de las arquitecturas algorítmicas de la guerra a la esfera civil. Una forma particular de establecer un modelo de intervención que busca influir, dirigir, orientar y manipular el medio en el que se encuentran los individuos.
