    OBSTINATE RIGOUR: POPULISM WITHOUT APOLOGIES AUTHORS' REPLY TO CRITICS1
    (2023) Cadahia, Luciana; Biglieri, Paula
    In this article we offer a response to each of the authors who participated in the exchange. But instead of responding to each one separately, we decided to organise our writing around three themes. In the first place, we propose an intellectual, militant and biographical description that helps to put the original motivations of our book Seven Essays on Populism into context. Secondly, we offer a reflection on the role of ontology in our text, paying special attention to the critiques made by Barros & Martinez Prado, Bosteels and Marchart. Thirdly, we conclude with a deepening of the link between populism and feminism, paying special attention to the lucid observations of Barros & Martinez Prado and Gunnarsson-Payne.

    Philosophy, Feminism, and the Popular field in Latin America
    (2021) Cadahia, Luciana; Biglieri, Paula
    In this article, we intend to provide a meta-feminist reflection on the current finks among philosophy, feminism, and the popular field in Latin America. To this effect, I divide the article into four sections. First, I elaborate a reflection on the specificity of the nature of philosophical practice in Latin America and the feminist field. For this purpose, I adopt the distinction proposed by Amoros between philosophical feminism and feminist philosophy in order to support the importance of preserving both expressions. Second, I show how, through the signifier 'woman', both expressions are contaminated and why it is important to sustain this term from theory in its vocation to accompany the usage of language in feminist movements in Latin America. Thus, I attend to the impossibility of associating a name with an identity. Third, I reconstruct current debates in the field of Latin American and Caribbean feminist thought in order to make explicit a tension between the legacies of affirmative power and the legacies of negative thinking. I present a few limitations of the first legacy and position myself within the second. Finally, through the understanding of feminism as negative (or failure), I offer an interpretation to think about the role of feminism within the popular field and the importance of connecting with other struggles against oppression in the configuration of an emancipatory horizon.

    Profanar la cosa pública: la dimensión plebeya del populismo republicano
    (2022) Cadahia, Luciana; Biglieri, Paula
    Pensar la dimensión republicana del populismo implica revertir uno de los prejuicios más arraigados del pensamiento político actual: que el populismo se encuentra en las antípodas de las instituciones y el derecho. Más aún, esta afirmación suele venir acompañada de la acusación de que será el responsable de destruir las instituciones al reemplazarlas por la figura decisora de un líder demagogo y manipulador. Se crea así una maniquea oposición entre una política que vendría a ser puramente decisional (líder) y otra puramente institucional (procedimiento), como si el ámbito de la primera excluyera de manera constitutiva la dimensión institucional de las repúblicas.

    Seven Essays on Populism. For a Renewed Theoretical Perspective. Cambridge : Polity Press, 2021
    (2021) Biglieri, Paula; Cadahia, Luciana
    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 José Carlos Mariátegui, 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.
