Resumen
El siglo de Badiou analiza el siglo XX a contrapelo del balance conservador contemporáneo que sólo ve allí desborde de entusiasmo y totalitarismo. Badiou analiza, a) el acoplamiento entre política y barbarie propio del siglo XXI; y b) cómo el siglo XX asumió esta conjunción (política y barbarie) que el siglo XIX creía haber resuelto al entregarse a un devenir histórico progresivo. El siglo XX descubrirá el sinsentido de lo real bajo las formas pasivas (padecer lo real) y activas (apasionarse por lo real, por el acto). Su concepto central será la “passion du réel”. Esta pasión de lo real se despliega según dos lógicas: lógica identitaria, que desemboca en la destrucción total, y lógica de la diferencia mínima, que, sin eludir la destrucción, abre un despliegue productivo infinito. Badiou propone rescatar la conjunción “política y barbarie” de su moralización contemporánea como condición para proponer otras políticas, , cuyo nombre genérico es “comunismo”, que comprendan sus causas en profundidad y las desactiven.
Badiou’s The century analyses 20th century contrary to the contemporary conservative assessment that only sees in it an overflow of enthusiasm and totalitarianism. Badiou analyses, a) 21st century’s specific coupling between politics and barbarism; and b) 20th century engagement with this conjunction (politics and barbarism) that the 19th century believed it had resolved by surrendering to a progressive historical becoming. 20th century will discover the lack of sense of the real in passive (suffering the real) and active (being passionate about the real, about the act) forms. Its central concept is then “passion du réel”. “Passion for the real” unfolds in two ways: “logic of identity”, leading to total destruction, and “logic of minimal difference”, which, without avoiding destruction, opens up an infinite productive unfolding. Rescuing the conjunction ‘politics and barbarism’ from its contemporary moralization is a condition for proposing other policies, whose generic name is communism, that understand in depth its causes and deactivate them.
