Resumo: Contemporary democratic theory tends to emphasize the importance of values and processes that channel the production of consensus, treating political conflict as harmful to democracy. Even Chantal Mouffe, who denounces this movement in her agonistic model of democracy, reaffirms the need for consensus. This paper seeks thus to resume the notion of antagonism developed by Laclau (and by Mouffe herself) and present a renewed look at the possibilities of politics, envisioning the democratic model. What is at stake in politics (and in democratic politics) is always permeated by the dimension of antagonism, and views that emphasize the need for consensus only mask unequal processes and favors the acceptance of modes of exclusion. Rethinking antagonism and its possibilities, and understanding that democratic institutions end up marked by conflicts enables their plurality and inclusion, becomes, therefore, more fruitful for democratic politics.

Même Chantal Mouffe, qui dénonce ce mouvement dans son modèle agonistique de démocratie, réaffirme la nécessité du consensus. Cet article cherche donc à reprendre la notion d’antagonisme développée par Laclau (et par Mouffe elle-même) et à présenter un regard renouvelé sur les possibilités du politique, en envisageant le modèle démocratique. Les enjeux de la politique (et de la politique démocratique) sont toujours imprégnés de la dimension de l’antagonisme, et les points de vue qui mettent l’accent sur la nécessité du consensus ne font que masquer les processus inégaux et favorisent l’acceptation des modes d’exclusion. Repenser l’antagonisme et ses possibilités, et comprendre que les institutions démocratiques finissent par être marquées par des conflits permet leur pluralité et leur inclusion, devient donc plus fructueux pour la politique démocratique.Na teoria democrática contemporânea tende-se a enfatizar a importância de valores e processos que canalizem a produção de consensos, tratando o conflito político como nocivo à democracia. Mesmo Chantal Mouffe, autora que denuncia esse movimento com seu modelo agonístico de democracia, reafirma a necessidade de consensos. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é retomar a noção de antagonismo desenvolvido por Ernesto Laclau (e por Chantal Mouffe) e apresentar um renovado olhar sobre as possiblidades da política, vislumbrando o modelo democrático. Entendemos que está em jogo na política (e na política democrática), sempre permeado pela dimensão do antagonismo, e que visões que enfatizam a necessidade de consensos apenas mascaram processos desiguais e com primazia à aceitação de modos de exclusão. Portanto repensar o antagonismo e suas possibilidades, e entender que as instituições de regimes democráticos são marcadas por conflitos que possibilitam sua pluralidade e inclusão é mais frutífero para a política democrática.Universidade Federal da Bahia2021-11-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/crh/article/view/3486810.9771/ccrh.v34i0.34868Caderno CRH; v. 34 (2021): PUBLICAÇÃO CONTÍNUA; e0210171983-82390103-4979reponame:Caderno CRHinstname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/crh/article/view/34868/25431Copyright (c) 2021 Caderno CRHhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Corral de Freitas, Felipe2021-07-05T17:25:10Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/34868Revistahttps://portalseer.ufba.br/index.php/crh/about/editorialPolicies#custom-0PUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phprevcrh@ufba.br||revcrh@ufba.br1983-82390103-4979opendoar:2021-07-05T17:25:10Caderno CRH - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false
