Dual Modernity: The Return of The Grand Narratives
Abstract
This article problematizes the modernity/postmodernity debate based on the thesis of the dual nature of modernity in Ernesto Laclau, Antonio Negri, and Enrique Dussel. From the perspective of these authors, we delve into the critics aimed to towards the thesis of end of modernity and the grand narratives to explore the possibility of news grand narratives in the present. The text explores three meta-narrative models: Laulau’s populism, Negri’s meta-perspectivism, and Dussel’s transmodernity. The objective of the article is to explicit the relationship between the thesis of dual modernity and the proposal to reactivate the grand narrative as a resource for political action in the present.
