Abstract

The goal of the present investigation is to analyze the concept of democracy’s theoretical formation and detect its different meanings through the work of a group of social science intellectuals between 1980 and 1991. We thus propose
to reconstruct the epochal horizon and the argumentative context within which the intellectual discourses were inscribed, in order to detect the development of the category of democracy from intellectual reception strategies demonstrating conceptual innovation and change. The conditions of possibility that permitted the intelligentsia to adopt these positions are not separate from changes the decade wrought on the historical figure of the intellectual, modifying both their public and social identity. In this context, the intellectuals created an opening towards new meanings of the concept in the theoretical discourse of the social science. Categories and problems previously absent in their writings work as generators of a new semantic. Thus, the intellectual debate became structured and ordered around the conceptual tension between liberalism and democracy, while categories such as socialism, populism, and republic also entered the intellectual debate in the framework of redefining historical categories utilized and applied in different moments and different ways by the contribution of the selected intellectuals.
