Description
Abstract
En este artículo se analiza la dinámica nosotros-ellos en la modernidad. Se hace especial hincapié en presentar el concepto de la trampa de la paradoja: aquel entramado discursivo y material que atrapa a los considerados “ellos” y genera unas dinámicas de las que resulta difícil escapar. Ante la trampa de la paradoja y la esencialización de los grupos sociales se han dado respuestas kafkianas – basadas en la asunción de la definición negativa y estigmatizadora – y genetianas – basadas en el rechazo de todo el orden de valores. Las salidas conciliadoras, como las de Marx o Césaire, nos hacen reflexionar sobre la importancia de recuperar algunas de las ideas ilustradas que nos permitirían dinamitar la lógica nosotros-ellos.

Special emphasis is placed on presenting the concept of the paradox trap: that discursive and material framework that traps those considered “Them” and generates dynamics from which it is difficult to escape.

Conciliatory solutions such as those of Marx or Césaire, make us reflect on the importance of recovering some of the Enlightenment ideas that would allow us to dynamit the Us-Them logic.
