CASTRO ORELLANA, Rodrigo. Critical notes on the concept of hegemony in Dussel and Laclau. Alpha [online]. 2019, n.48, pp.123-137. ISSN 0718-2201.  http://dx.doi.org/10.32735/s0718-2201201900048621.

This article studies the fundamental aspects of Dussel’s critique of the formal model of hegemony developed by Laclau. In this context, a concept of popular hegemony tied to the centrality of the reproduction of life as a normative criterion in politics is proposed, as well as an argument against the abstract decisionism of the populist theory of Laclau. The text also offers -as suggested by Castro-Gomez’s reading- a critique of Dussel’s ideas from a post-foundationalist perspective, which leads to questioning the very idea of an unconditional universal. Finally, we conclude by positing a critique of some of the theoretical viewpoints shared by both authors, identifying the limitations of the very concept of hegemony.

Palabras clave : Hegemony; populism; politics; neoliberalism.
