Focusing mainly on the cases of Chile and Uruguay, Ravecca employs different strands of critical theory to challenge the mainstream narrative about the development of the discipline in the region, emphasizing its ideological aspects and demonstrating how the discipline itself has been shaped by power relations. Ravecca metaphorically charts the (non-linear) transit from “cold” to “warm” to “hot” intellectual temperatures to illustrate his—alternative—narrative. Beginning with a detailed quantitative study of three regional academic journals, moving to the analysis of the role of subjectivity (and political trauma) in academia and its discourse in relation to the dictatorships in Chile and Uruguay, and arriving finally at an intimate meditation on the experience of being a queer scholar in the Latin American academy of the 21st century, Ravecca guides his readers through differing explorations, languages, and methods.
The Politics of Political Science: Re-Writing Latin American Experiences offers an essential reflection on both the relationship between knowledges and politics and the political and ethical role of the scholar today, demonstrating how the study of the politics of knowledge deepens our understanding of the politics of our times.

Instead of suggesting a set of criteria through which we should evaluate narrative texts, we investigate what they are already doing in IR scholarship. We show that the space narrative writing delineates through the encounter between text and reader/reading potentiates critique and engages complexity in ways that are often not available in other forms of IR scholarship. Concretely, we examine themes around openness, contradiction, ambiguity, fracture, surprise, and the ungovernable aspects of social and scholarly life.

The narration situates this academic discipline as a human activity, unpacking its interconnectedness vis-à-vis other realms of experience: the ‘individual’ level, the family structure and the Nation State. Power and knowledge circulate through all of these spaces without observing the borders that scholarship traces between them. Self-reflection is a transformative practice needed by both people and academia. Indeed, introspection needs to also disregard boundaries in order to grasp the complexity of personal-and-social-life. Introspection is extrospection and, therefore, it is a political exercise –as political as Political Science.

Revista de Teoría Política, a collection of essays devoted to narrative approaches and methods. This intervention, launched from South America, gathers eight engaging contributions by scholars writing from diverse geographical locations and in three different languages. Written in both academic and narrative voice, the essays in this collection show with vibrancy a range of intersections that are not always queried in our research. To highlight a few examples: the essays engage the relationships between the personal and the political, the often fraught navigation of constructed and naturalized identities, and the connectivities between who we are and what we do. In other words, they show what we are often exhorted to hide, and they examine silences for a deeper understanding of the conditions and contexts within which our professional lives and subjects of study are formed. What is the relationship between us and our research? How are our experiences linked to our scholarly perceptions? Who do we think we are and why might it matter? These essays interrogate such questions, examining the interstices of silence, the intersections between the urban and the aesthetic, the connections between identity and research, as well as the tensions between 'success' and 'failure'.

The journal foregrounds the positioning of authors and storytellers in their craft and it aims to publish a diverse range of expressions from this engagement. While concerned with aesthetics, Journal of Narrative Politics is not a literary journal. Instead, it is committed to exploring the overlaps between aesthetics, politics, theory, and ethics. Unlike other scholarly social science journals devoted to narrative, Journal of Narrative Politics is less concerned with the objectivist academic analysis of narrative, and more with the expression of narrative itself as a mode of knowing and a form of scholarship. The journal therefore aims to operate in the overlap between the languages of science and literature with the goal of showing how theory becomes practice and practice theory. It commits to diverse ways of storytelling as knowledge appropriate to the academy, rather than as merely the objects of scholarly inquiry.

Yet, the situation is even worse for critical theorists and critical theory: whereas (almost) nobody would (openly) argue that " normative theory " , particularly in its formal and analytic face, has no room in political science, the value of approaches such as neo/postmarxist, feminist, postcolonial and queer studies is in question all the time. Where is the 'home' of critical theory-'social science', 'theory', the humanities, none/all of them? Does critical theory imply reframing the way we speak about the relationship between theory and empirical analysis – and how? What is the current situation of critical theorists and critical theory within our discipline? What could potentially be the role of critical theory in the scholarly realms of theory, analysis and epistemology? Or, in other words, what are the contributions of critical theory to Political Science? Is there a future for critical theory in our discipline? Are the very terms in which this panel is announced useful or, alternatively, do we need to be asking other questions? Which ones? The panel gathers international scholars whose work provides relevant input to tackle these pressing issues.

Concretely, I looked at power dynamics within and around the discipline, with a special focus on the impact of political regimes over academic production. I also analyzed the involvement of political science (PS) in the exercise of power, specifically in the cases of Chile and Uruguay. Now that the project, which included an intense effort of gathering and analyzing abundant data, has been completed, this presentation will return to the theoretical foundations of the exercise and ask: What do these two case studies teach us about ‘power-knowledge’ in Latin American academia and beyond? How do authoritarianisms and democracies affect us, political scientists, and vice versa? What are the most helpful ‘critical’ vocabularies and theories to confront PPS? Finally, what are the significant contributions ─if any─ of self-reflection to PS and political analysis?

Therefore, the exploration of political science’s development becomes purposeless without the analysis of the socio-political role of the discipline. This panel gathers epistemological and empirical interventions that unpack the power dynamics within and around political science in the national or transnational milieu. At the most abstract level the question is how politics and power dynamics affect our discipline and vice versa. More concretely, the focus is on the relationship between liberalism, political regime(s) and political science. Thus, together with the panel on “war and the development of social sciences" this session will offer innovative perspectives on the political dimension of social science in general, and political science in particular. Studies of national cases, comparative analyses and theoretical reflections will be accepted. Critical theory based approaches are particularly welcomed.

This article seeks to destabilize this understanding by showing that important elements of the infrastructure of the discipline were created during, and sometimes by this authoritarian regime. More concretely, through an in-depth and extensive examination of the political science produced during the Chilean dictatorship, I identify and characterize an institutional and intellectual space that I will call Authoritarian Political Science (APS). The findings challenge the dominant narrative that links the institutionalization of our discipline in Latin America to liberal democracy in a linear fashion, and suggest the need for a nuanced, empirically informed and theoretically dense understanding of political science’s multiple historical trajectories.

Esta presentación se basa en ese material y analiza en clave comparada las narrativas de los colegas sobre la historia, el desarrollo y el sentido de la disciplina. Se exploran cuestiones como el impacto de la dictadura, el rol del marxismo en los sesentas y setentas, la actual hegemonía de la elección racional, el extensivo uso del idioma inglés en la academia, las relaciones de género al interior de la disciplina, la debilidad institucional de la ciencia política latinoamericana, la relación Norte-Sur, entre otras. Asimismo, se examina sucintamente la literatura sobre “narrativa” y auto-etnografía en Relaciones Internacionales y Ciencia Política. Se reflexiona sobre el estatuto epistemológico de contar historias (“story telling”) y sobre la importancia de mantener la interpretación como recurso metodológico de la ciencia política.

PPS is informed by critical theory and aims to unpack the linkages between our discipline, political context and power relations. In other words, PPS attempts to shift from the question of institutionalization to the problem of what is institutionalized. Ravecca (2014) demonstrated that, against widespread claims in the literature (such as of those of Altman 2005; Altman 2006; Barrientos Del Monte 2012; Bulcourf 2012; Buquet 2012; Fortou et al. 2013; Garcé 2005; Huneeus 2006; Viacava 2012 among others) PS’ development was far from being interrupted or trumped by the authoritarian regime of Augusto Pinochet. In fact, through uncontestable evidence it was shown that important components of the discipline’s infrastructure were created during, and sometimes by, the dictatorship. These findings challenge the commonsensical linear narrative that links PS’ institutionalization to liberal democracy and suggest the need for a more nuanced, empirically informed and theoretically dense understanding of PS’ multiple historical trajectories. This presentation offers a new step in the exploration of PPS, consisting in an in-depth analysis of what I am going to call Authoritarian Political Science (APS).

Todo esto implica un desplazamiento importante: de la pregunta sobre la institucionalización de la disciplina a la pregunta de qué se está institucionalizando" (página 45 de la versión completa)

Este artículo analiza las tesis de maestría de ciencia política de la Universidad de Chile 1982-2000. Más concretamente, compara las décadas del 80 y del 90 en términos de perfil profesional de los estudiantes, área de investigación y temáticas abordadas, enfoques teóricos utilizados y posicionamiento ideológico frente a problemas como la naturaleza del marxismo, el fenómeno del ‘terrorismo’, la deseabilidad de la estabilidad institucional, entre otros. Los hallazgos presentados resultan significativos para repensar el vínculo de la disciplina con el proceso dictatorial en Chile, y constituyen un aporte para una reflexión más ambiciosa sobre la relación entre ciencia política y contexto. En este sentido se introduce la categoría de ciencia política autoritaria y se cuestiona teóricamente, y a la luz de la evidencia empírica, el cliché de que sin democracia liberal no puede haber una ciencia política institucionalizada e internacionalizada.

En la primera sección abordaremos diversas teorías que reconocen y conceptualizan la condición política del conocimiento. Luego de la lectura directa de obras fundamentales de Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, Gramsci, la Escuela de Frankfurt y Foucault exploraremos líneas de pensamiento crítico recientes tales como el postmarxismo, los estudios postcoloniales y la teoría queer. En la segunda sección nos internaremos en el giro narrativo en ciencia política, relaciones internacionales y otras disciplinas, preguntándonos qué posibilidades epistemológicas, teóricas y políticas abre la narrativa escrita por académicos.

Entiendo por pensamiento radical aquel que habilita la captación de sí mismo en el delicado registro de sus condiciones de posibilidad y emergencia atreviéndose, nada menos, a tematizar con prolijidad y rigor sus implicaciones. Qué atraviesa (a) la palabra es una interrogante difícil porque coloca los propios enunciados en tanto cuestión analíticamente irresuelta y, por lo tanto, permite eludir destinos, politizarse y mirarse desde el lugar de una elaboración compleja. Edward Said, en no pocas ocasiones, ejerció esa manera de pensar. Sus obras han significado un aporte de tal magnitud que reclaman nuevas apropiaciones y relecturas. Compelen con fuerza a repensarse y a impugnar los dispositivos que operan sobre el propio mirar.

Los llamados “nuevos movimientos sociales”, y especialmente su propuesta de “politizar” los “asuntos de identidad”, han contribuido a que ello se produjera: son los propios actores sociales, a través de su “ejercicio de sí”, los que sitúan la política “desde otros lugares”, alimentando así la reflexión teórica. En ese marco, “leer” la Marcha Por la Diversidad Sexual constituye un desafío analítico y ciudadano. El siguiente artículo esboza cinco puntos de entrada al problema.

Tenía 23 años cuando empecé a escribir el textito, creo. En esos tiempos ser gay no era "cool" y los colegas heterosexuales no te mandaban emails de felicitaciones por hablar del tema públicamente. Yo recuerdo...
Como me está (re)enseñando un curso de posgrado sobre "Narrativa y auto-etnografía en las Relaciones Internacionales", la "genealogía de sí", mantener un ojo en las propias experiencias intelectuales y "reales" no tiene por qué ser un ejercicio de narcisismo vacío. Puede, también, ser un gesto intelectual y político de búsqueda de lo otro que yace en uno, y de los otros que están en los otros. Comparto, entonces, este texto de juventud.

Mouffe y Laclau se declaran sorprendidos de que, pasados veinte años de su primera edición, esta obra conserve plena vigencia y actualidad: los problemas vitales de la izquierda siguen girando en torno a la (im)posibilidad de una práctica hegemónico-democrática que conduzca a una transformación profunda de las relaciones de poder vigentes en las sociedades capitalistas (avanzadas o no) y, desde ahí, a una democracia radicalizada, libertaria y plural. Para caminar en esa dirección es imprescindible, según ellos, articular los diversos discursos emancipatorios a partir de dos dinámicas contrastantes y complementarias: la lógica equivalencial (igualdad) y la lógica de la autonomía (libertad).

Ahora las palabras antes que las piedras (o las patadas o los bastonazos o la cárcel o...). Antes las palabras, entonces, no usadas como piedras, porque las palabras también pueden estar insertas en dinámicas en que funcionan como tales... la enunciación puede querer ser pedrada... puede serlo en definitiva. Por ejemplo, desde el insulto hacia y el menosprecio (temeroso y simplificador) por “los manifestantes”, desde la palabra hiriente, cínica, pobre y brutal. ¿Qué se está haciendo cuando se actúa desde allí sino reproduciendo (o quizá produciendo a secas) un escenario de violencia y denostación, de daño al espacio público?

Es esperable que en los entornos democrático-liberales aparezcan y se desarrollen discursos de impugnación radical del “orden” –orden que, por lo demás y aunque el centrismo bienpensante trate de olvidarlo, es generador de daños radicales. La pregunta de cómo responder radicalmente a estos dispositivos que impactan en nuestras vidas diariamente no está predeterminada por ningún sujeto prepolítico (como la clase social) ni por nada. ¿Cómo responder radicalmente? ¿Dónde están las condiciones de posibilidad de un actuar y un decir radicales? ¿Qué significa, en definitiva, posicionarse en un radicalismo (im)posible? Encuentro aquí un núcleo duro y difícil de tematización del problema.

Research paper thumbnail of "Secularismo y religión: precariedad (política) compartida" - intervención en el seminario "Laicidad y religión en la modernidad tardía" (Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, 2016) organizado por José Kechichián

Lo que se juega en cómo los seculares nos vinculamos y narramos al 'otro religioso', especialment... more Lo que se juega en cómo los seculares nos vinculamos y narramos al 'otro religioso', especialmente cuando se trata de un otro supuestamente alejado culturalmente de 'nosotros' es qué tipo de vida colectiva y qué tipo de política emancipadora, practicamos, o podemos practicar. Puede ser cliché pero la aseveración vale: en el modo en que nos vinculamos con el otro se juega nuestra identidad.
Mi punto principal es simple y directo. El secularismo puede ser emancipador u opresivo y, por tanto, hacer aseveraciones esencialistas sobre estos espacios o identidades es un camino regresivo. Desde esta mirada, el secularismo y, paradojalmente, la religión no tienen esencia en términos políticos. El secularismo o los discursos de laicidad pueden ser patriarcales o feministas; pueden ser imperialistas o anticoloniales, pueden ser liberadores o no… y lo mismo la religión, o los espacios religiosos -- o los religiosos y las religiosas.
El registro que políticamente importa no es el de la corrección política vs incorrección política. Especialmente en ambientes culturalmente conservadores como el uruguayo donde hay una suerte de fijación casi placentera en decir que estamos hartos de lo políticamente correcto, que en general se hace para defender privilegios propios y para poder ser libremente racistas y machistas, entre otros.
La pregunta o el registro relevante es otro, me parece: cómo está operando el poder ahora, a quién se somete, cómo, cuáles son los efectos políticos de nuestras intervenciones. No se trata de idealizar a una religión particular, de declararla víctima o victimaria sino de mirar lo que está pasando en entornos concretos y qué hacen estos discursos.
¿Qué está pasando cuando un hombre 'conservador' se indigna con casos (supuestos o reales) de violencia doméstica en las familias de refugiados sirios en Uruguay (como si en el Uruguay la violencia de género fuera importada del oriente) atribuyendo estos eventos a la religión de los individuos? Me parece que allí están ocurriendo muchas cosas en términos de la regulación de la identidad nacional, de la dimensión de 'género', del secularismo o la laicidad y la xenofobia, enlazadas de un modo interesante que requiere reflexión y des-anudamiento.

However, many critical perspectives have shown that the (social) sciences are implicated in power relations. Thus, “field-work” needs to be interrogated in nuanced ways. Where is the “field”? Why are some countries frequently treated by scholars as producers of the “state of the art” (theory) while others are imagined as the place to gather data and do field-work? Does “field-work” finish when one arrives back to Pearson? Should this “epistemology of the adventurer” be challenged? Why “the poor”, “indigenous communities”, “subaltern groups” are seen, studied, talked about, and conceptually dissected while ethnographies and studies of the rich and powerful are rare? And what kind of ethical and epistemological commitments does that entail? Are graduate students of Canadian universities really that “privileged” in comparison to the “people” they “study” or the story is in some cases more complicated than that? What does the common lament about “how privileged we are” actually “do”, both politically and ethically? In sum, in what sense “field-work” can be seen as a power relation and academia as politically relevant? Our presenters will address some of these and other issues through their own research experience.

Reflecting on this recognition, Prof. Elizabeth Dauphinee says of Paulo: "[he] is the very best we have to offer", and "one of the most illuminated minds I have ever encountered". His PhD supervisor, Prof. David McNally, describes Paulo's work as "strikingly original, enormously sophisticated theoretically, and inspired by a deep and abiding sense of social justice." On the occasion of the award, CERLAC Director Eduardo Canel opined: "This is an important recognition of academic excellence and we are proud to have Paulo associated with CERLAC."

We argue that such perspectives increasingly show serious shortcomings in explaining past andcurrent realities in Latin America and beyond. They not only analyze “power” but in fact incarnate unequal international power structures. Our analytical exercise is twofold. On the one hand, we engage in the analysis of the politics of political science, looking at the discipline as an object of (political) inquiry. On the other, and as a product of the latter, we propose a new category, namely toxic democracies, as a conceptual tool that might allow for a critical understanding of the international and transnational dimensions of political regimes and their transformations in the so called “Global South.” In other words, the politics of political science assists us in understanding and unpacking the existing biases in the literature on democratization, while toxic democracies performs an analytical intervention that disrupts the power dynamics of our discipline. Once again, epistemology and social research need each other to become effective and critical in their knowledge-production pursuits.

Keywords: The Politics of Political Science, Toxic Democracies, Democratization.

Focusing mainly on the cases of Chile and Uruguay, Ravecca employs different strands of critical theory to challenge the mainstream narrative about the development of the discipline in the region, emphasizing its ideological aspects and demonstrating how the discipline itself has been shaped by power relations. Ravecca metaphorically charts the (non-linear) transit from “cold” to “warm” to “hot” intellectual temperatures to illustrate his—alternative—narrative. Beginning with a detailed quantitative study of three regional academic journals, moving to the analysis of the role of subjectivity (and political trauma) in academia and its discourse in relation to the dictatorships in Chile and Uruguay, and arriving finally at an intimate meditation on the experience of being a queer scholar in the Latin American academy of the 21st century, Ravecca guides his readers through differing explorations, languages, and methods. The Politics of Political Science: Re-Writing Latin American Experiences offers an essential reflection on both the relationship between knowledges and politics and the political and ethical role of the scholar today, demonstrating how the study of the politics of knowledge deepens our understanding of the politics of our times.

Revista de Teoría Política, dedicado a los enfoques y métodos narrativos.

Plasmados en estilo académico unos, y en voz narrativa otros, los ensayos reunidos en la colección despliegan con vivacidad un arco de problemáticas comúnmente ignoradas por la investigación académica, tales como el vínculo entre lo personal y lo político, la tensa negociación en torno a la (des)naturalización de las identidades, y la relación entre lo que somos y lo que hacemos. En otras palabras, estos textos muestran lo que con frecuencia se nos exhorta a ocultar y examinan esos silencios, con el fin de lograr una comprensión más profunda de las condiciones y los contextos que forjan nuestras vidas profesionales, intelectuales y políticas. ¿Cuál es el vínculo entre nuestras investigaciones y nosotros? ¿De qué modos nuestras percepciones y análisis se vinculan a nuestras experiencias vividas? ¿Quiénes (pensamos que) somos y por qué eso importa?

Research paper thumbnail of Queering Conceptual Boundaries: Assembling Indigenous, Marxist, Postcolonial and Queer Perspectives - Jindal Global Law Review

Jindal global law review, Nov 1, 2013

This article suggests the need for imagining assemblages and engagements between queer, Marxist, ... more This article suggests the need for imagining assemblages and engagements between queer, Marxist, postcolonial and indigenous perspectives in order to critically confront the complex and ambivalent politics of queerness today. It grounds and deploys this reflection through a critical exploration of “Dawn of a New Gay,” a non-academic piece on ‘po-mo homo’ and the case of Queers Against the Israeli Apartheid, an activist group based in Toronto. Queerness, in our account, is constituted by dimensions which go far beyond a narrow conception of sexuality. Thus, ‘queering queerness’ implies talking about ‘classing’, ‘gendering’ and ‘racialising’ processes, avoiding an additive logic and acknowledging their interelated messiness. By employing ‘queer’ as a self-reflective, methodological tool, we examine its integral role in the processes of capitalism, racialisation, heteropatriarchy and colonialism. The suggested theoretical perspective has implications in terms of how to think of politics ‘as such’: there is a need, this article argues, to overcome economic and culturalist reductionisms in the approach to radical politics. Both are liberal in their ‘ideological mechanics’ because they proceed with the logic of segmentation and obscure how power(s) operate(s). Assembling critical perspectives is an impossible and necessary exercise of de-reification of categories and theories but, more fundamentally, it is an attempt to imagine less oppressive political praxes and futures.

Drawing on research that includes 58 interviews with Chilean and Uruguayan scholars and a systematic analysis of the main academic journals of these countries, it shows that important aspects of theChilean case have not been fully taken into account by the literature. While in Uruguay PS was indeed undermined by the authoritarian government, in Chile key components of the current institutional infrastructure of the discipline were created during, and sometimesby, the dictatorship. The contrast between these two PS trajectories problematizes the linear narrative ‘democracy®PS’ and provides a more nuanced understanding of the discipline’s development(s) as well as of its political nature(s). In the background of this piece there is a theoretical meditation on the relationship between knowledge and power.

However, numerous critical theorists such as Edward Said, Max Horkheimer, Antonio Gramsci, Michel Foucault, and Herbert Marcuse, as well as interpretativists and reflexivists (Jackson 2011; Denzin and Lincoln 2011; Flick 2007) have challenged the notion that knowledge production is politically neutral and argued that, in fact, it is a key component of the broader social and political relations in which it occurs. By taking part in the production of knowledge on society, social scientists participate in the production, legitimization or critique of the social order, social hierarchies, power relations, and political regimes. Several empirical, contemporary phenomena illustrate this idea, and make it particularly topical. Economics notoriously plays a key role in grounding the monetary policies implemented by central banks and the International Monetary Fund (Chwieroth 2010). Social scientist...

Concretely, the article focuses on PS’ institutional birth and early period (1980s and 1990s) and shows how broader political and ideological transformations had a significant impact on its discourse on Uruguayan democracy. Three components of such discourse are unpacked: The embrace of liberalism, the rejection of Marxism, and the uncritical engagement with the local political system, particularly the ‘traditional parties.’ The argument is supported by a systematic analysis of the 163 articles published by Revista Uruguaya de Ciencia Política (RUCP) from 1987 to 2012 and 22 in-depth interviews with scholars from the Instituto de Ciencia Política (ICP) at Universidad de la República (UdelaR).

Research paper thumbnail of Applying Political Theory: Issues and Debates. Katherine Smits, Palgrave Macmillan, Houndmills, Basingstoke

Y la respuesta que ofrece es una exploracion erudita y compacta de los debates mas salientes (al 2009) en la teoria politica anglosajona. El enfoque es eminentemente "practico": "this book applies the values and theoretical frameworks of political theory to real world political issues" (5). Smits intenta, entonces, "aplicar" enfoques de teoria politica a las grandes controversias que, sobre diferentes politicas publicas, vienen ocurriendo en el marco (politico y epistemologico) de las democracias del "Norte Global". (Este punto de vista que el libro asumeel de paises "occidentales", "ricos" y con democracias liberales "consolidadas"� no es un detalle, como veremos mas adelante). Estructurado en 12 capitulos y con una introduccion conceptual util para cursos iniciales de posgrado, el libro es un valioso m...

Research paper thumbnail of The People's Paving Stones: The Material Politics of International Human Rights in the Baldosas por la Memoria of Buenos Aires

Pr... more Baldosas por la memoria are memorial paving stones handcrafted by loosely networked activists. Produced continuously from 2006 to an informally established protocol, they memorialize “the disappeared” and others murdered by the state terrorism of the Argentinian dictatorship (1976–1983). As a synecdoche of the “down and dirty” everyday pavements, they function as a metonym for democratic struggle and popular sovereignty. Aesthetically, they work against the “forgetting” and kitschification to which conventional memorials become subject. Through remediation into books and a DVD documentary, they participate in controversies within the international politics of human rights. Using a “material turn” within visual analysis, yet distinct from the “new materialism,” this article explains how they function within familiar genres of memorialization but in wholly novel ways. Baldosas create ethical complexity and moral ambiguity by troubling collective memory. Thus, we examine their relation...

Al igual que la perspectiva académica y activista de la interseccionalidad, la ID atiende a la interrelación entre distintos ejes de posicionamiento social y desigualdad. Sin embargo, el contraste entre ellas no podría ser mayor, ya que la ID no moviliza intersecciones para cuestionar el poder, sino para legitimar el statu quo y naturalizar mecanismos de opresión. El artículo muestra la centralidad del tema de la “ideología de género” en la ID. Para ello, analiza el discurso de los politólogos Agustín Laje y Christian Rosas. El estudio utiliza métodos mixtos: análisis estadístico de tuits (correlaciones y análisis de sentimientos) e interpretación de libros, videos, arengas y conferencias. Para consolidar los hallazgos, la exploración se extendió a otros/as 18 activistas y políticos/as. Concluimos que la potencia narrativa de la extrema derecha hoy radica en su carácter interseccional, en la apelación a las emociones, en el uso de la simplificación y en la reproducción obstinada y efectiva de los aspectos más conservadores del sentido común y del liberalismo.
