The technique concept has, at least, two dimensions: the material and the immaterial. While objects and labor’s tools refer to the former, the use of the technique refers to the later. These perspectives complement each other, since the existence of the technical object implies an intentionality of usage.

Ante todo, partimos de la pregunta por la técnica e introducimos algunos filósofos que se preocupan por esta cuestión. La técnica tiene por lo menos dos dimensiones: la material y la inmaterial. La primera comprende objetos y herramientas de trabajo. La segunda se refiere a sus formas de uso. Las dos perspectivas se complementan ya que la existencia del objeto técnico supone una intencionalidad de uso. En ese sentido, la técnica amplificó y transformó la escala de la acción humana. Esto se manifiesta en las formas geográficas pretéritas y presentes, es decir, en la configuración de los lugares a partir de los objetos técnicos que los componen. Sin embargo, la técnica como forma de pensar, planear y ejecutar ha sido menos incorporada a las reflexiones en la Geografía. A esta discusión se dedica la segunda parte de este trabajo. Con ese horizonte, el artículo está estructurado en tres partes: una introducción, seguida por el cuerpo principal que, a su vez, contiene cuatro secciones –Los albores de la discusión sobre la técnica, La tecnología y los objetos: la técnica como medio y fenómeno, La innovación como principio ordenador de las redes y La técnica: un principio de acción–; mientras que las ideas finales se expresan en la conclusión titulada: Posibles ideas de investigación desde la técnica.  Instituto de Geografía "Romualdo Ardissone", UBA 2019-07-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/6911 10.34096/ps.n1.6911 Punto Sur; Núm. 1 (2019): Julio-Diciembre; 21-37 Punto Sur; No 1 (2019): Julio-Diciembre; 21-37 2683-7404 spa http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/6911/6131
