Communicative excess and the liminal civil subject
Transformative social performance. A cultural pragmatics of social meaning change
This article explores the process of social meaning change within the Strong Program in Cultural Sociology, shifting focus from the reproduction of culture to transformative social performance (TSP) in public displays. Social life often generates identifiable narrative patterns, where certain storylines are elevated to dominant or even official interpretations. In response, counternarrative patterns, iterated through a TSP, emerge to challenge an…
Contra todo pronóstico. El papel de la contingencia en el camino al poder de Chávez y el movimiento bolivariano en Venezuela
En este artículo se muestra, a través de la microestructuración de su camino al poder, que la llegada de Chávez y el movimiento bolivariano al Gobierno de Venezuela estuvo marcada por el efecto de la contingencia. A partir de entrevistas a actores clave realizadas por periodistas e historiadores, se presenta una historia analítica que evidencia cinco dinámicas contingentes: el impacto positivo del golpe de febrero de 1992 en la opinión pública, l…
Sociología relacional de la xenofobia. El caso del rechazo a la inmigración venezolana en Lima, 2019
The objective of this article is to propose an explanatory model of the different levels of rejection of (Venezuelans) immigrants, through thirteen mixed interviews carried out in the city of Lima between the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020. Based on a relational model, it is concluded that, regardless of the direct impact of immigration on the macroeconomy, or the relative levels of crime: (1) there are different levels of generalization o…
Performances sociales híbridos. El caso de la tauromaquia urbana en el Perú contemporáneo
La teoría performativa de la acción social no ha considerado suficientemente la posibilidad de la hibridez, ni por tanto las consecuencias de dicha consideración. Sobre la base de 14 entrevistas semiestructuradas a toreros, aficionados y antitaurinos, en este artículo analizamos un caso de un performance social híbrido humano / no-humano: la tauromaquia en el Perú urbano actual. Dicho performance es leído de manera contrapuesta por los taurinos y…
Genosphobia
In general, xenophobia refers to fear or hatred of the ‘stranger’ and it is recognized as a multivocal term, largely overlapped with ethnocentrism, racism, nationalism, extremism or nativism. In this article, I show that it still has layers of meaning to be explored. Based on thirteen mixed interviews (semi-structured and in-depth) conducted in the city of Lima (Peru), in this work I argue that there is a stratum in the meaning of xenophobia that…
Revisiting the Issue of Democratic Deterioration in Venezuela, 1974-1998
This article examines the issue of democratic deterioration by revisiting the Venezuelan case (1974–1998). Using sequence elaboration and alternative case-focused theories, it tests and confirms the hypothesis that presidential partyarchy was the main contextual explanatory factor behind the crisis that led to Venezuela's democratic deterioration. Building on elite conflict theory, it also aims to integrate previous studies’ insights and better e…
Explaining populism beyond Laclau
Populism has been a rather marginalized notion in mainstream social sciences. In his ambitious work On Populist Reason, renowned theoretician Ernesto Laclau aimed to give the notion a more central role. However, the work is dominated by ungrounded theory. In this article I test the factors that the work identifies as conditions to explaining populism, against the backdrop of three historical cases the work analyzes. I add the case of Chávez and t…
