Resumen
El artículo propone entrecruzar, a partir de sus principales conceptos y proposiciones teóricas, a dos de los más importantes intelectuales del siglo XX: Walter Benjamin y Michel Foucault.Tanto Benjamin como Foucault propusieron pensar el orden social y, a partir de ello, elaboraron una maquinaria crítica que posibilitó definir cómo las prácticas y discursos que sofocan los cambios sociales son, al mismo tiempo, el propio dominio desde el cuál emprender una acción transformadora.En ese sentido, nuestro objetivo es, a pesar de las divergencias y distancias que reconocemos entre ambos autores, indagar aquellos discursos que nos permitan examinar sus convergencias respecto de cómo piensan la dinámica del cambio social. Para ello, reflexionamos acerca de las nociones de poder, derecho, violencia, verdad, discurso, sujeto, revolución e intelectual -entre otras- para observar de qué manera Benjamin y Foucault posibilitan pensar múltiples dimensiones de acción política transformadora en el sistema capitalista actual.
This article seeks to compare the main concepts and theoretical propositions of two of the most important intellectuals of the 20th century: Walter Benjamin and Michel Foucault. Both, Benjamin and Foucault, proposed to think the social order and, from there, they elaborated a critical machinery that made possible to define how the practices and discourses that suffocate social changes are, at the same time, the starting point for revolutionary action. In this regards, our aim is, in spite of the differences and distances that we recognize between both authors, to investigate those discourses that allow us to examine their convergences concerning how they think the dynamics of social change. With this purpose, we reflect about the notions of power, right, violence, truth, discourse, subject, revolution, intellectual, among others, to observe in which way Benjamin and Foucault make possible to think multiple dimensions of the revolutionary political action in the current capitalist system.
