This important intervention interrogates keystone features of the
dominant European theoretical landscape in the field of populism
studies, advancing existing debates and introducing new avenues of
thought, in conjunction with insights from the contemporary Latin
American political experience and perspectives. In each essay - the
title a nod to the influential socialist thinker Jose Carlos
Mariategui, from whom the authors draw inspiration - leading
Argentine scholars Paula Biglieri and Luciana Cadahia pair key
dimensions of populism with diverse themes such as modern-day
feminism, militancy, and neoliberalism, in order to stimulate
discussion surrounding the constitutive nature, goals, and
potential of populist social movements. Biglieri and Cadahia are
unafraid to court provocation in their frank assessment of populism
as a force which could bring about essential emancipatory social
change to confront emerging right-wing trends in policy and
leadership. At the same time, this fresh interpretation of a
much-maligned political articulation is balanced by their
denunciation of right-aligned populisms and their failure to bring
to bear a sustainable alternative to contemporary neo-authoritarian
forms of neoliberalism. In their place, they articulate a populism
which offers a viable means of mobilizing a response to hegemonic
forms of neoliberal discourse and government.
