Résumé anglais From Democratic Simulacrum to the Fabulation of the People: Minority Populism
Starting out from the frequently noted indeterminacy of the notion or concept, if not of the effective reality of populism, the article offers a symmetrical inquiry examining the current radicalization of a paradoxical “anti-popular State populism”. Its intention is therefore to reread in this light the analyses put forward by Deleuze and Guattari of the contradictory processes affecting the forms of “governementality” by way of the “majority consensus, which have since come to be qualified as “postdemocratic” or “post-political”. This leads the author to reconsider the terms of a “minority strategy” within a larger hypothesis, one which is however determined by the current European conjuncture: a hypothesis according to which the task involved in the critique of populism can only be carried out by way of the concept's internal politicization: in other works, by way of a rethinking of populism as a fully-fledged political form requiring a problematisation of the relations of power of which it can be the site, and which will address, at least as an open question, the issue of a “democratization of populism” which might be able to divide the notion from within, in a conjuncture where it may no longer be possible to deal with the issue by way of a purely extrinsic critique of the notion.
