Salvador Allende: The Decline of a Plebeian Modernity
Abstract
This text describes the tragic figure of Salvador Allende from the question of the present. The analysis seeks to show the relationship between the leader of Unidad Popular and a certain exhaustion of socialist modernity as a civilizing program. The decline of modernity, however, would find resistance in Allende's ethical act and the aura of his political ghost whose residual agency presents itself as a difficult problem for traditional politics.
