Abstract
La ciudadanía es un concepto importante para entender las comunidades políticas modernas; sin embargo su universalización siempre ha sido conflictiva, sobre todo en territorios que no han logrado superar imaginarios y prácticas de exclusión y discriminación étnico-culturales. El presente ensayo muestra la política heterogénea que surge de la diferencia entre gobernados y gobernantes. Por un lado, muestra la aplicación de políticas liberales de ciudadanización y cómo ellas se han convertido en políticas de implementación de una modernidad a medias; es decir, sin un reconocimiento universal de la igualdad real y efectiva de todos los sujetos políticos. Por otro lado, plantea que la ciudadanía es una historia de conquistas sociales producto de la lucha por la ampliación de las condiciones de igualdad. Estos planteamientos llevan a presentar una reconceptualización del espacio público donde los muchos existan sociopolíticamente en tanto muchos.
Citizenship is an important concept for the understanding of modern political communities; however, its universalization has always been conflictive, especially in territories that have not achieved to overcome the imagined or actual practices of ethno-cultural exclusion and discrimination. This essay shows the heterogeneous politics that emerge from the difference between the governed and the governing. On the one hand, it shows the application of liberal citizenship politics and how these have been converted into politics of a tailored modernity; in other words, without a universal recognition of the real and effective inequality of all political subjects. On the other hand, it posits that citizenship is a history of social conquests, generated from the struggle over the expansion of the conditions of inequality. These approaches lead us to present a reconceptualization of the public space where the many exist, in a socio-political sense, as being many.
