Abstract
El artículo se detiene en el análisis que hace Laclau de los primeros cultivadores de la psicología social. La nueva disciplina alcanza su pleno desarrollo con la obra de Freud Massenpsychologie und Ich-Analyse. Este texto permite explicar la regresión hacia modalidades despóticas de gobierno que sufre la sociedad de masas durante el periodo de entreguerras, como supieron expresar algunos artistas alemanes de la época. Laclau señala, no obstante, que el libro de Freud también alude al elemento clave del populismo democrático: la identificación mutua entre el líder populista y los gobernados. Finalmente señalamos las afinidades de este pensamiento con la democracia schmittiana y los problemas que esto conlleva.
This paper focuses on Laclau's analysis of the first cultivators of social psychology. This new discipline reached full development with Freud's work Massenpsychologie und Ich-Analyse. His text explains the regression to despotic forms of government suffered by mass society in the inter-war period, as some German artists of the time were able to depict. However, Laclau points out that Freu's book also refers to the key element of democratic populism: mutual identification between the populist leader and those governed. Finally, we underline the similarities of this thought with Schmittian democracy and the problems this poses.
