Alberto Santamaría analyzes how institutions, political and financial elites construct discourses that shape our perception of reality. Faced with this imposition, the author proposes recovering the figure of the \"schizo-utterance\" as a tool of resistance, an alternative narrative that questions the established order. An essential book for those seeking to unmask the power mechanisms hidden behind the stories we consume daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting from the observation that our daily life is permeated by narratives that extol creativity, entrepreneurship, and emotional expression, Santamaría asks who really benefits from these discourses. The book dismantles the apparent neutrality of these stories, showing how they are promoted by banking institutions, political strategists, and opportunistic elites to maintain a specific social order. Faced with this narrative \"barbarism,\" the author rescues the concept of the schizophrenization of discourse, a philosophical figure from the seventies that allows for the generation of a counter-narrative capable of subverting forms of control. Through an analysis that crosses philosophy, sociology, and literary criticism, the work offers the keys to identifying and resisting the discursive impositions of power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of institutional narratives and their function of social control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the discourse of entrepreneurship and creativity as tools of power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePolitical philosophy: the relationship between language, narration, and social order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe \"schizo-utterance\" as a strategy of resistance and discursive subversion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRevision of philosophical figures from the seventies applied to the contemporary context.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in political philosophy, critical sociology, and literary theory.

Alberto Santamaría manages to articulate a solid critique of hegemonic narratives without falling into simplifications, offering the reader conceptual tools for a more conscious reading of reality. His proposal to recover the \"schizo-utterance\" as a practice of resistance connects with current philosophical debates and provides an original perspective. It is, without a doubt, a work that will challenge those who seek to go beyond established stories and exercise truly critical thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SANS SOLEIL EDICIONES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53405721854299,"sku":"9788494611957","price":16.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978849461195.jpg?v=1781830973","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788494611957","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
