Description
Summary:The aim of this article is to develop a brief conceptual history of acceleration (both the experience and the concept) and a possible strategy for coping with and resisting its most alienating effects. To this end, the theological genealogy of the concept of accel­eration and of the resources to combat it (which are referred to the concept of katejon) is identified. As far as acceleration is concerned, the arguments of Kojève and Koselleck, among other authors, are used. As for the strategy of resistance, the proposal of Giorgio Agamben is examined. His thesis on the need to overthrow all katejon is presented and it is argued that his anti-institutional proposal is insufficient to resist the alienating ef­fects of social acceleration.
El objetivo de este artículo es desarrollar una breve historia conceptual de la ace­leración (tanto de la experiencia, como del concepto) y de una posible estrategia para hacer frente y resistir sus efectos más alienantes. Para ello, se identifica la genealogía teológica del concepto de aceleración y de los recursos para combatirla (que son remi­tidos al concepto de katejón). Por lo que se refiere a la aceleración, se recurre a argu­mentos de Kojève y Koselleck, entre otros autores. En cuanto a la estrategia de resistencia, se examina la propuesta de Giorgio Agamben; se expone su tesis sobre la necesidad de derribar todo katejón y se sostiene que su propuesta anti-institucional es insuficiente para resistir los efectos alienantes de la aceleración social.
