Resumen: A pesar de la diversidad de formas concretas del Estado y de su carácter descentrado, difuso e incluso fantasmal, como lo han mostrado distintos estudios recientes de antropología y etnografía, la idea de un poder central omnipotente sigue animando la fantasía política, la discusión y la movilización social. A partir de una mirada de varias situaciones contemporáneas de disputa política, en las que el Estado reaparece como réplica, fractal o fetiche, se plantea un problema: hasta dónde nuestro entendimiento de la política sigue atado a la idea de Estado, como lo ha planteado Monique Nuijten (2003), entre otros analistas. En este ensayo se invita a reflexionar sobre los márgenes de la política contemporánea.
Abstract: Despite the diversity of concrete forms of the state, and its decentered, diffuse and even ghostly nature, as recently pointed out by anthropological and ethnographic studies, the idea of a centralized, omnipotent power continues to animate political fantasy, discussion and social mobilization. A problem is formulated from the perspective of various contemporary situations involving political dispute, in which the state re-emerges as a replica, fractal or fetish: to what extent does our understanding of politics remain bound to the idea of state, as pointed out by Monique Nuijten (2003) and other analysts. This essay is therefore an invitation to think about the margins of contemporary politics.
