Narrativas de crisis y nuevos sujetos

Abstract

Contemporary discussions within the field of moral and political philosophy are permeated by the categories of crisis, narrativity, and the emergence of new ethical and political subjects. Since the systemic crisis of 2008, discourses, analyses, and proposals have emerged that emphasize the crisis of representation, the crisis of legitimation, the crisis of democracy (Levitsky, Ziblatt, 2018; Runciman, 2019), the crisis of capitalism as a social and institutional system (Fraser, Arruzza, Bhattacharya, 2019; Fraser, Jaeggi, 2019), the ecological crisis, the crisis of the social care provision system, the crisis of the welfare state, the crisis of liberalism, neoliberalism (Dardot, Laval, 2017; 2019), etc. A wide range of analyses characterize the different political, social, and cultural dynamics following what has been called the «great crisis» or «super systemic crisis» of 2008 (Riutort, 2014). A multitude of narratives create frameworks with the aim of capturing, through concepts and categories specific to political philosophy such as modernity, political subject, citizenship, democracy, feminism, autonomy, alienation, vindication of rights, public sphere, public opinion, emancipation, neo-conservatism, neo-authoritarianism, etc., the different facets, edges, contradictions, and conflicts that emerged since 2008.
