LEYVA BOTERO, Santiago. The cultural-political turn in the studies of urban power. Co-herencia [online]. 2012, vol.9, n.16, pp.215-246. ISSN 1794-5887.

This article aims to rescue the political foundations of urban political analysis, leaving behind its economism. To this end, this paper establishes a dialogue between this sub-discipline of political science that studies ''urban power'' and Cultural Political Economy, a new theory that seeks to re-explore the possibilities of political economy after taking seriously the cultural and linguistic turns that have become widespread on the social sciences in the last two decades. The contribution is then centered in examining how the theoretical changes introduced by CPE, and particularly those that draw on the contributions of Antonio Gramsci, Michel Foucault and Chantal Mouffe, have an impact on the study of urban power, especially after adopting their concepts of hegemony, antagonism, discourse, power technologies and the process of co-evolution between discourses and institutions on which the EPC builds its main contribution.

Palavras-chave : Urban power; urban politics; cultural turn; institutions; discourse.
