| Sumario: | The neoliberal offensive success depends on an adequate understanding of the political nature of affects, which is an specific theme to be developed in this article. For this reason, and not ignoring the broad spectrum of the neoliberal project, we will address the question of how the enlightened reason prejudice contributes to the failure of national and popular political movements in the Latin American region. We understand that there is no politics without a fundamental affect, affect that runs through it or affect that mobilizes in its productions or practices. According to this we say that Neoliberalism has a technology of subjectivation, that is, a Psychology, which at its core includes a science of affects and their political application or rather, micropolitics.In these terms, we maintain that the strong belief that the data, fact or knowledge revealed by itself can generate substantial changes in people is inadequate. This happens due to the exclusion of the affective component or temper that has been treated asan unimportant residue by a long rationalist tradition, and which is, on the contrary, extremely essential in any instance of everyday life, and even more so in any militancy or political activity. Here the optimism of Enlightened Reason is denounced since it has proven inefficiency not only in understanding the relationships between politics, affects and subjectivities but also in implementing an offensive capable of displacing Neoliberalism.Our project, in general terms, establishes the political nature of affects based on the science of affects in Spinoza. In specific lines, we will identify these affective logics in a local and epochal phenomenon such as the growing libertarian movement. Finally, we will determine counterhegemonic alternatives based on overcoming this rationalist logic in tactics and strategy against Neoliberalism. |
