| description |
Within the field of social sciences, populism is an ambiguous concept and has been characterized as polysemic. There are different elements that contribute to its complexity and sow the need to approach a detailed analysis of it: the "verbal smoke" that surrounds it, as Arditi (2010) says, the slippage of political strategy/questioning leadership from the status quo to a political regime of government as mentioned by Peruzzotti (2017) and its emergence in modern and industrial societies, in contrast to the thought of Germani (1962). With enlightening claims, the proposal of this article seeks to follow the path of the main theoretical productions on the subject. The objective of the text is to carry out a review of the most important theoretical contributions about the populist phenomenon, emphasizing the populism-liberal democracy relationship. To meet this objective, four approaches will be worked on: the key perspective of the social modernization process of Gino Germani (1962) and Germani and Torcuato Di Tella (1973), the historical-structural perspective of Carlos de la Torre and Peruzzotti (2008), the ideological-discursive perspective proposed by Laclau (1978, 1996, 2005), Mouffe (2019) and María Esperanza Casullo (2014, 2019) and, finally, the ideational perspective of Mudde and Rovira (2019) and Moffit (2022). This last approach will be treated in more depth since it has the particularity of combining ideological, discursive and institutional aspects. It has been built by contemporary political science from previous contributions of that discipline, sociology and political sociology. The methodological strategy used to meet the proposed goals will be the bibliographic review. |

Dentro del campo de las ciencias sociales, el populismo es un concepto ambiguo y ha sido caracterizado como polisémico. Existen distintos elementos que coadyuvan a su complejidad y siembran la necesidad de aproximarse a un análisis pormenorizado de dicho concepto: el “humo verbal” que lo rodea, como dice Arditi (2010); el deslizamiento de estrategia política/liderazgo cuestionador del statu quo a régimen político de gobierno, como menciona Peruzzotti (2017) y su surgimiento en sociedades modernas e industriales, en contraposición al pensamiento de Germani (1962). Con pretensiones esclarecedoras, la propuesta de este artículo busca transitar el camino de las principales producciones teóricas en torno a la temática. El objetivo del texto es realizar una revisión de los aportes teóricos más importantes acerca del fenómeno populista, haciendo hincapié en la relación populismo-democracia liberal. Para cumplir con dicho objetivo se trabajarán cuatro enfoques: la perspectiva en clave del proceso de modernización social de Gino Germani (1962) y Germani y Torcuato Di Tella (1973), la perspectiva histórica-estructural de Carlos de la Torre y Peruzzotti (2008), la perspectiva ideológica-discursiva propuesta por Laclau (1978, 1996, 2005), Mouffe (2019) y María Esperanza Casullo (2014, 2019) y, por último, se desarrollará la perspectiva ideacional de Mudde y Rovira (2019) y Moffit (2022). Este último enfoque será tratado con más profundidad, ya que tiene la particularidad de combinar aspectos ideológicos, discursivos e institucionales. Mencionada perspectiva ha sido construida por la ciencia política contemporánea a partir de aportes previos de dicha disciplina, de la sociología y de la sociología política. La estrategia metodológica utilizada para cumplir con las metas propuestas será la revisión bibliográfica.
