The Extended Homeland

The homeland, when it breaks, does not disappear: it transforms. In the Venezuelan case, this transformation has been so profound that it forces a rethinking of the very categories with which we understand a nation. Territory, history, or even power are no longer enough. Venezuela—in this time of fracture—has become something else: a dispersed human geography, an extended collective intelligence, a global network of talent that challenges the classical notion of the State.
