On cultural globalization and political representation

Abstract

he aim of this work is to analyze the relations between the cultural changes inserted in the Political Representation and the mondialisation process and the advances in constituting a global society. It will begin with an introduction of the globalization processes in order to understand which is the mondialisation material substratum. Subsequently, according to Renato Ortiz, mondialisation will be analyzed as a deeper dimension of globalization, as a symbolic universe characteristic of the constitution of a global society. Afterwards, the relations between the mondialisation process and the sphere of the Political Representation will be analyzed, trying to give an answer to the following questions: What does the relation between the Representation rulers-ruled consist in at the moment it is affected by the globalization-mondialisation process?; Are the Representation cultural changes of part of the mondialisation?; As political parties that seem to be isolated or to have reservations about the orthodox neoliberal model, do they use in their symbolic construction the High Value phase mechanisms created by capitalism?. The Representation changes are analyzed according to the cultural guidelines they generate and not depending on their democratic contents-although it is considered that a cultural point of view can be useful to understand the restrictions on their development. These transformations are considered according to their recent evolution in the Argentine Republic.
