Know about struggles from struggles. Reflections on the polymorph deployment of antagonism: Community networks and political horizons

Abstract

From critical theory, there is a proposal to think social struggles from the deployment of their contradictions and the instability they produce in the existing order. For its comprehension, the author proposes a methodological tool which implies the systematic analysis, on one side, of their interior horizons, namely, their political aspirations; and on the other, of their practical scope, that is, of the fully recordable features during the deployment of the struggles. Thus, the systematic record of the visible practical scopes during the deployment of the struggle, allows us to become aware of the interior horizon which sustains them and from which they themselves open their own perspectives, reinventing them permanently and outlining horizons of possible political transformation.
