Resumen

Con base en documentos de archivo relacionados con Herbert Gladstone, primer gobernador general de la Unión Sudafricana de 1910 a 1914, se explora la adopción del poder iterativo, centrado en la inevitable falibilidad de las personas encargadas de la toma de decisiones, que responden a la disposición espacial de diversos materiales y flujos, y tratan de alterarlos. Centrándose en la interacción de Gladstone en un incidente crítico en 1914, se revela cómo imaginó alterar la geografía única del país; sin embargo, también se evidencia la manera en que el poder iterativo que él manifestó, finalmente, fue incapaz de gestionar la dinámica de la acumulación capitalista, de la cuestión racial y del proyecto imperial en Sudáfrica.
