El odio como síntoma de lo político.

This article examines the psycho-anthropological matrix that cries out the relationships between body/hate and their forms of expression in Latin American Neopopulism. Its problematization is part of three assumptions: 1) hatred is an affection that constitutes the human psyche and a symptomatic manifestation of the historical exception of the body; 2) the human body is a production of sovereign power, and 3) because hatred is an affection that nests in the body makes symptoms in the agonistic social space that binds the subject with himself and others. The affection to explore in the elusive domain of the human psyche is hatred, its emergence and meaning in the populist phenomenon, and our goal is to examine in what sense hatred can be understood as a symptom of the political. The unity of analysis considered is the relationship between the charismatic leader and its bases, in particular the use of the term people, significant that invokes other senses as rational/emotional, illustrated/plebeian, civilized/barbaric, cult/popular, senses that by their antagonistic differential relationship deepen the elevation of affectivity and intellectual coertion as Freud proposes with regard to collective psychology.
