| Sumario: | Taking into account some electoral processes that occurred in Latin America in the twenty-first century, it can be understood how the status of the protagonists of the political scene seems to shift between actors and operators. Many characters are involved in this scene, especially given the degree of mediatization that politics has achieved. The staging of politics, carried out by the representatives, really shapes a political scenario, with narratives, operators, actors, characters, staging, different types of discursive performances. However, just as the stage represents and hides the political system and the market, operators hide political subjects. But it turns out that there is another deeper concealment, carried out by the media omnipresence of these operators, who with the installation of the agenda, exercising the power that gives them their privileged position, hide the real political field, which is also a field of struggles and tensions. It is there that the political subject, a collective protagonist who does not want to be a mere spectator, who wants to become the actor of its liberation, is defined, never in an absolute way and always in conflict. That politics is managed by agents or operators who respond to particular interests is inappropriate, in practical and conceptual terms, because the condition of subject implies being a subject of politics and of the political. This aspect, which connects politics with philosophy, is very well captured by the Uruguayan philosopher Yamandú Acosta in the book Filosofía Latinoamericana y Sujeto (Latin American Philosophy and Subject), which covers classics of philosophy, in summary, from a critical perspective but also sketching a critique of Latin American philosophical discourses. |
