description Both, be it the advance of electronic media and teletransmissions in the 20th century and the cyber digitalization of the 21st century, the various epistemic fields have been responsible for problematizing the relationship between the perceptive, the aesthetic (space-time) and the technological changes that impose new intersubjective practices, behaviors and modes of subjectivation. A specific concept arises in many authors: the sensorium. Whether a cultural approach or a specifically epistemological perspective is proposed, a reference to that category is often repeated in relation to changes in the speed and acceleration of images, texts and communications; first in the era of analog electronics and then in the digital age. The objective of this paper is to expose a brief systematization of the sensorium towards a possible definition as an aesthetic-political unit of analysis. This category let us think, on the one hand, about the Aesthetic discipline as political thought, and on the other, about politics in aesthetic terms. For this, this paper reviews various senses that the category of sensorium has had throughout history, according to its emergence in different epistemes. The first part identifies certain discourses locating authors in which specific uses can be found (Newton, Simmel, Benjamin, McLuhan, Kittler, etc.), thus it is possible to delineate a series of senses related to time and space from an aesthetic point of view, from the perception, social realm and the technique. Henceforth, the second part presents the idea of a “sensory turn” in contemporary social and political studies, where the idea of sensorium takes a new importance. Finally, the text focuses on the conceptual relationships that derive from Rancière's use of the category. Based on this lines, this paper seeks to delineate a series of elements to open the possibility of defining the Aesthetic as the thought of the common sensorium; as a unit of aesthetic-political analysis that works as a theoretical framework for a morphology of the social dimension, as analytical of the sensible order.

Tanto frente al avance de los medios electrónicos y las teletransmisiones del siglo XX como frente a la digitalización cibernética del siglo XXI, los diversos campos epistémicos se han encargado de problematizar la relación entre lo perceptivo, lo estético (espacio-tiempo) y los cambios tecnológicos que imponen nuevas prácticas intersubjetivas, comportamientos y modos de subjetivación. En muchos autores surge el uso de un concepto puntual: el sensorium. Ya sea que se proponga un enfoque cultural o una perspectiva específicamente gnoseológica, suele repetirse una referencia de dicha categoría en relación con los cambios de la velocidad y la aceleración de las imágenes, los textos y las comunicaciones; primero en la era de la electrónica analógica y luego en la época digital. El objetivo de este trabajo es exponer una breve sistematización del concepto de sensorium en vistas de una posible definición en tanto unidad de análisis estético-política. Dicha categoría permite, por un lado, pensar la disciplina Estética como pensamiento político; y por el otro, pensar lo político en clave estética. Para ello el texto repasa los diversos sentidos que ha tenido la categoría a lo largo de la historia, según su emergencia en diferentes epistemes. La primera parte recorre ciertos discursos puntuales identificando autores en los cuales se pueden encontrar usos específicos (Newton, Simmel, Benjamin, McLuhan, Kittler, etc.), delineando así una serie de sentidos relacionados con el espacio y el tiempo desde lo estético, lo perceptivo, lo gnoseológico, lo sociológico y lo técnico. A partir de dicho esquema, en la segunda parte se presenta la idea de un “giro sensorial” en los estudios sociopolíticos contemporáneos, donde la idea de sensorium cobra una nueva importancia. Por último, se hace foco en las relaciones conceptuales que se derivan del uso que propone Rancière en torno a la categoría. En base a dicho recorrido el texto busca delinear una serie de elementos para abrir la posibilidad de definir la Estética como el pensamiento del sensorium común; se trata de una unidad de análisis estético-política que funciona como marco teórico para una morfología de lo social en tanto analítica del orden de lo sensible.
