Chapter 1
From Techne to Poiesis: A Conceptual Introduction to Techno-Politics in the Digital Age
Alp Cenk Arslan
This chapter introduces techno-politics as a conceptual lens through which technology is understood not merely as a tool (techne) but as a world-creating force (poiesis). Drawing from thinkers such as Schmitt, Winner, Jasanoff, Latour, and Ellul, it shows how digital infrastructures restructure sovereignty, blur public-private boundaries, and generate new political orders. The rise of Big Tech as quasi-sovereign actors and the emergence of hybrid governance regimes illustrate how power now flows through code, platforms, and algorithms. Moving beyond regulation, the chapter proposes a poietic approach that treats technology as an ontological force, calling for governance models attuned to its generative capacities and civic responsibilities.
