TAZ The idea comes at the beginning of a critique of the Revolution, in favor of the Insurrection. The first label to the second a failure, but for us uprising represents a far more interesting possibility, from the perspective of a psychology of liberation that revolutions "satisfied" of the bourgeoisie, communists, fascists. ..
The second TAZ generative force lies in the historical development of what I would call "closing the map". The last bit of Earth unclaimed by or another nation was engulfed in 1899. Ours is the first century without terra incognita, without a final frontier. Nationality is the highest principle of world government, or a piece of rock in the South Seas is a land of no one, not a remote valley, or even the moon or planets. It is the apotheosis of territorial gangsterism. Not one square inch of land is free from surveillance or taxes ... in theory.
The "map" is an abstract political system of coordinates, a giant carrot fraud reinforced by expert state conditions until the end to most of us the map becomes the territory, no longer the "Turtle Island", but the USA. And just because the map is an abstraction, can not cover the earth, precisely 1:1. In the context of fractal complexity of the current geography, the map can only cover dimensional coordinates. But vast stretches beyond the standard folded measured. The map is not accurate, can not be accurate.
Therefore, the revolution is closed, but open insurgency. In our time we can only concentrate our strength in "insurgent powers", thereby avoiding any entrapment in any "permanent solution".
And the map is closed, but the autonomous zone is open. Metaphorically, lies folded on the fractal dimensions invisible to the cartography of Control. And this is where we introduce the concept of psychotopology (and psycho-topography) as an alternative science, surveillance and mapping of the state and "psychic imperialism". Only one can psicotopografía 1:1 scale mapping of reality, because only the human mind has enough complexity to reproduce reality. 1:1 And a map can not control its territory, for the simple reason that it is virtually identical him. It can only be used to suggest certain actions. We are looking into it "spaces";-geographical, social, cultural, imaginary, strong potential to flourish as "autonomous zones"-and seek times in which these spaces are relatively open, either because they lack the state either because they have passed unnoticed by the cartographers, or whatever reason. The psychotopology is the art of prospecting new potential TAZs.
