Extrapolitical Dispersion of Political Power and Possibilities for a New Cratology

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to question the relationship between power and new social realities, as well as new forms of domination that occur in democratic societies. The author starts from the assumption that power in modern liberal democracies is dispersed out of politics, leaving behind depoliticized space of politics through which the hegemonistic order achieves its domination. The paper does not aim to question the possibilities of overcoming such a domination. By analysing the relations between them it seeks to make visible the reverse of the dominant ideology and its functioning, as well as the possibilities of understanding and studying power in the era of post-politics and multiverse of power.
