Descripción
Sumario:The hegemony ends with the domination (characterized by the relation lord/slave who is still a relationship, with a potential of alienation, of power relationships and conflicts). We internalize the world order and its operational mechanism, of which we are all hostages well more than slaves. The consensus, voluntary or involuntary, replaced the good old bondage. If the domination went through an authoritarian system of positive values, the contemporary hegemony is, unlike for a liquidation symbolic of all values. In this confusion comes to sink his own domination. All meanings come to abolish in your own sign and the profusion of signs parodies a reality which now cannot be found. This is what I would call a carnavalization, and this whole farce western rests on the cannibalization of reality by signs.
