| Abstract | Abstract
This paper deals with modern history and the contemporary subject. Marx's theory of modern society must be corrected and completed. The dominant class includes two social forces: the capitalists on the market and the 'competent' in the organisation, facing the fundamental or popular class. A 'régime of hegemony' is a mode of arrangement between these three forces. Under neoliberalism, when a World-State is emerging, the capitalists occupy an overwhelming position.
The 'neoliberal subject' can be described as subjected to a universal commodification. But a realistic understanding supposes to confront this subject with the contradictory plurality of this régime of hegemony. The subject is 'interpellated' (see Althusser) from all sides of this social triangle, across all the scales of social life. Only in this local and universal context can the potential of the ordinary human being appear. |
