Abstract

The neoliberal reason has been established as a “conduct’s conduct” through which the market's values have colonized governamental instances and social spheres outside the economic domain. Nevertheless, we can find in this context –in which we witness an increment of social competitiveness– a huge rise of populist movements whose identities are built with libidinal laces. This essay delves inside this apparently paradoxical situation and analyses how the biopolitical production of subjectivities produced by the neoliberal order favors the emergence of populist discourses.
