Abstract
INDA, Graciela Alejandra. Political subjects and State in the geography of new critical theories. Reflexiones [online]. 2018, vol.97, n.1, pp.53-64. ISSN 1659-2859. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rr.v97i1.31400.
This article attempts to elucidate the lines of combat in the field of New critical theories, around the problem -inherited from Marxist tradition- of relationship between: political practice of subaltern classes and State. In attention to that, the bets of different positions -such as cooperative and productive multitude; the political subject as loyalty to the event; the people as hegemonic articulation of heterogeneous demands and the political subject as emerging of an egalitarian irruption- are confronted. As conclusion of a reading committed to demarcation operations and confluences, the text recognizes the delineation of non-overlapping watersheds: between positions that, beyond their differences, define politics (and its subjects) as an exceptional practice in the history of forms of domination, fully deployed outside the State; and a position that inscribes politics and its operations inside the strategic field of the State; between a vision of politics as a place that designate itself and creates its owns subjects (or is created by them) and a perspective which conceive that the world of production is the only field where an authentic political subject can be constitute; between a tendency claiming for internationalism of popular struggles or multitude and another one placing political subjects into nationals spaces.
