| Sumario: | ABSTRACTThe article analyzes the ways in which Horacio González (1944-2021) and Damián Selci (1983-) thought about the question of the “durability” of populism in a set of texts that have a close relationship with the political praxis of their authors and, at the same time, an undoubted theoretical vocation. Sensitive to the crossroads that threatened, in the past, the survival of Peronism, and that, more recently, put Kirchnerism in crisis, they review some of the available responses to what appears as the “Achilles heel” of the populist governments: the impossibility of institutionalizing the transmission of charisma for the successor of the original leader. In that same movement, their writings contribute to the development of the Weberian topic of the “routinization of charisma”. Thus, while González was interested in the “subjective extension” of populism, in Selci's proposals the response to the challenge of “lasting” appears associated with the objectification of certain extraordinary qualities, condensed in the figure of the “militant” of an “organization". |
