Análisis de la narrativa libertaria:: ¿cómo se vuelven “novedosas” ideas conservadoras? (Artículo de opinión) Rey, Ailén Laura Narrative Libertarianism Neoconservative Contemporany subjectivities Narrativa Libertarismo Neoconservador Subjetividades contemporáneas The present work tries to carry out a critical reflection on the libertarian narrative to inquire the tacit strategies used to revitalize conservative ideas in the social imaginary. The first part of the article describes the main characteristics of libertarian thought; namely, the rhetorical use of argumentative fallacies; politically incorrect performance; moralism and demonization of leftist movements; the rejection of the "political caste" and the defense of an ad hoc liberalism. Then, it’s analyzed the underlying assumptions within the libertarian discourse that resonate with aspects of contemporary subjectivities where a (neo)conservative thought can develop. Said analysis was based on three axes: the horror of moral decadence and the subversion of roles; apoliticalism and rejection of political figures; and, finally, extreme individualism and the exaltation of a freedom dependent on the logic of the market. It reflects on how these aspects are used by libertarianism to recompose, ultimately, the hegemony of the neoliberal project. El presente trabajo intenta llevar a cabo una reflexión crítica sobre la narrativa libertaria para pesquisar las estrategias tácitas con las cuales consigue revitalizar ideas conservadoras en el imaginario social. En la primera parte del artículo se desarrollan las principales características del pensamiento libertario; a saber, el uso retórico de las falacias argumentativas; la performance políticamente incorrecta; el moralismo y la demonización de los movimientos de izquierda; el rechazo hacia la “casta política” y la defensa de una suerte de liberalismo ad hoc. Luego, se analizan los supuestos subyacentes dentro del discurso libertario que resuenan con aspectos de las subjetividades contemporáneas donde logra germinarse un pensamiento (neo)conservador. Dicho análisis se basó en tres ejes: el horror a la decadencia moral y la subversión de roles; el apoliticismo y rechazo hacia las figuras políticas; y, por último, el individualismo extremo y el enaltecimiento de una libertad dependiente de las lógicas del mercado. Se reflexiona acerca de cómo dichos aspectos son instrumentalizados por el libertarismo para recomponer, en definitiva, la hegemonía del proyecto neoliberal.
