Miguel Antonio Guevara proposes a critical approach to the "civilizing labor" of the Western modernity project, which in the 21st century is reproduced through the hyper-connectivity enabled by social networks and digital devices.

Miguel Antonio Guevara propone una aproximación crítica a la “labor civilizatoria” del proyecto de la modernidad occidental que en pleno siglo XXI se reproduce a través de la hiper-conectividad que permiten las redes sociales y los dispositivos digitales. En It's A Selfie World… denuncia, con intensidad expresiva, estilo osado y cautivante, los modos a través de los cuales se constituyen las subjetividades digitales que tienen como horizonte una consciencia transhumana con la cual se afinan los ya complejos procesos de dominación cultural, económica y política, y se nos prepara para naturalizar nuevas formas de racismo, esclavitud y control social.
