Resumen
VERAZA, Jorge. The paradoxical development of the historical subject in 20th and 21st centuries: class and multitude. Polis [online]. 2005, vol.1, n.2, pp.205-229. ISSN 2594-0686.
Does a historical subject exist in the contemporary reality? The twentieth century did see the rise of a process of declassment within the society. However, at the face of globalization ‒truly operated by the biggest imperialistic (in spite of Hardt and Negri´s opinion) world system‒ a reclassification process has been generated, in which multitude, masses, “new subjects” and people etc., become mere aspects of the proletarian humanity. Confused in the one referred declassment process, Martin Heidegger, the structuralism and the postmodernists thinkers of today all reject the historical subject because they don’t observe the reclassification process. This article observes, first, the actual phenomenon of the emergency of a historical subject in 2004. Then, it debates the theoretical problem from denial of the subject face to face with G.W Bush’s performance style in his campaign to presidential elections in the United States.
