El problema de la solidaridad entre las luchas subalternas contemporáneas: aportes en clave política

Article

Summary

This article claims attention to the sociopolitical conflict in Latin America, which is currently characterized by the balkanization of subjects, demands and institutional and non-institutional spaces of protest and insubordination. Faced with such a diagnosis, the article locates the problem of solidarity among the multiplicity of subaltern political subjects that lead struggles. Offering a theoretical discussion that is part of the Marxist discussion, this article shows some keys to a theoretical approach on solidarity. In the first section, solidarity is located as part of a particular way of analyzing political subjectivities, the class. In the second and the third section, we justify how solidarity can relocate the constitution of alliances, networks and articulations beyond a "discursive equivalence"; and, thus, redirect the old problem of the unity of the political struggling subjects, as a political problem –and not an ontological, moral, or identity problem–, in the face of the infinite variety of phenomena of rebellion or resistance on the contemporary scene.
