Spanish term or phrase:destitución de la tierra
La obra fue concebida en pleno pasaje del feudalismo al capitalismo moderno, en medio del proceso de destitución de la tierra como modelo productivo hegemónico y su reemplazo por la máquina, con la consecuente caída del pensamiento metafísico y un protagonismo creciente de la razón.
Explanation: Desde el punto de vista de muchos economistas marxistas y conexos, el capitalismo sustituyó al feudalismo como modo de producción, y la tierra (es decir, la tierra agrícola, no el planeta Tierra) perdió su posición central entre las fuerzas productivas. Así que yo diría:
...in the middle of the process of land's losing its hegemonic economic role, to be replaced by machinery.
Ojalá te sirva.
I just want to add: Thank you for any suggestions - I clicked 'enter' too soon. Thank you

thanks for the clarification Eileen, the "fabrica" (factory?) in the quote seems to tie in with the "máquina" in your original context. - Deborah

Asker: Vesalio's De humani corpori fabrica ...Una segunda clave para acceder al film de Almodóvar es considerar uno de los afiches con los que se promocionó la película. La imagen recrea las ilustraciones de Andrea Vesalio, médico flamenco que revolucionó la medicina al publicar, en 1543, su célebre tratado de anatomía, titulado De humani corpori fabrica. Thanks for your proposal Deborah :)

After further thought, I think I would say, "while the Earth was being dismissed as a hegemonic productive model to be replaced by the machine,"
