GARDUNO COMPARAN, Carlos Alfonso. The imaginary of the social revolution. Collective action and representation. Estud.filos [online]. 2020, n.62, pp.119-141. ISSN 0121-3628. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ef.n62a07.
This text develops an approach to the problem of the forms of collective action and representation that can be proposed as alternatives with potential to transform social conditions beyond the ideological structure of the capitalist system. The concrete dilemmas of the revolutionary struggle are analyzed through the figures of Lenin and Robespierre, after a discussion of the arguments of Cornelius Castoriadis and Slavoj Žižek on the possibility of self-institution of society and the need to link its multiplicity to a unitary representation. The paper concludes that the irruption of the collectives’ freedom in revolutionary events implies a type of violence whose direction is difficult to determine with certainty. However, this violence frames the revolutionary act in an ethical dimension, as a decision that enables the transformation of the imaginary.
