IPAR, María Cecilia. El concepto de populismo: una revisión crítica de sus “clásicos” y “nuevos” marcos teórico-interpretativos. Rev. Bras. Ciênc. Polít. [online]. 2019, n.30, pp.235-274.  Epub 10-Fev-2020. ISSN 2178-4884.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0103-335220193007.

This work aims at reconstructing the theoretical-interpretative frameworks of the concept of populism which tend to reinforce or debilitate its general negative meaning. We point out how their rival classical arguments -the uncertainty of the people and the fact that populism would be a symptom which rises up from a defeat in an historical process of modernisation- are based on a questionable epistemological assumption: individual groups and social classes have interests and wills prefigured before political intervention. On the contrary, we describe as new frameworks of populism those which introduce this concept into a wider theoretical field: the construction and crystallisation of political identities.

Palavras-chave : populism; people; political identity; hegemony; representation.
