Hi everyone,
I am currently working on a text about the role of craftsmanship and artisan practices in modern society. Is anyone able to help me with the term 'esquema de fuerzas'?
ST: ¿Cuál es el lugar que ocupa la artesanía ante este nuevo esquema de fuerzas que antepone el conocimiento de lo nuevo y promueve la digitalización y la desmaterialización de la cultura?
TT: My attempt: What place does craftsmanship occupy in the face of this new ???, which places a priority on knowledge of the latest developments and promotes the digitalisation and the dematerialisation of culture?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

balance of forces
It's a "force diagram" in Physics but is used figuratively here. "Balance of Power" might be possible but seems a bit strong to me.

Many thanks to all those who contributed!
