Place of speech, identity politics and its reflections in Leftist praxis

Abstract

The objective here is to think about the political-philosophical argument of the ‘place of speech’ and understand what the developments in this category are. We asked, how the concept diagnoses and impacts social representation in modern politics; who are the subjectivities that are there; and how the “place of speech” impacts action and politics of the leftist. We conclude that, what was intended to be a revolutionary strategy to overthrow interlocking oppressions, ended up acquiring a growing trend towards an individualism, the idea of an “us” is increasingly removed in a context where the leftist came to accept liberal democracy and capitalism as the ultimate horizon.
