book is also the result of a process of collective experience and organization. We could perhaps say that it has been weaving together ever since those initial investigations into populism that we each undertook alongside other researchers, leading to the publication of a groundbreaking book about Kirchnerist populism,4 a study of the relationship between populism and republicanism,5 and its incorporation into contemporary philosophical, political, and historical debates from different contexts.6 But, above all, we must mention that this militant project would not have been possible without the field of study opened up by Ernesto Laclau’s epistemic turn and later contributions by Chantal Mouffe and Jorge Alemán. Nor would it have been possible without the establishment of spaces such as the Ernesto Laclau Open Seminar at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), the various projects and open discussion spaces at FLACSO-Ecuador, and the Theorising Transnational Populist Politics project funded by the British Academy.7

      Finally, we would like to point out that the title we have chosen for this book is not insignificant, but instead represents a nod to the irreverent creativity and heterodoxy of Latin American critical thinking, a tradition of which we feel we are a part, if only through the humble evocation of José Carlos Mariátegui’s illuminating Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality.

      1  1 These soft coups began in 2009 with the removal of Manuel Zelaya in Honduras, followed by coups against Fernando Lugo in Paraguay in 2012, Dilma Rousseff in 2016, and Evo Morales in 2019. And we consider these to be “paradoxically” democratic coups for two reasons. In the first place, because they do not break with the institutional order in the old style of the civilian–military coups of the second half of the twentieth century in Latin America, which explicitly suspended the rule of law and functioned through a permanent state of exception with an alternative juridical order. And, in the second place, because juridical–mediatic complicity creates the fiction of a procedure regulated within the rules of the institutional game.

      2  2 For the Latin American right, it has become common practice to persecute judicially popular political leaders once their mandates have ended. This persecution has been called “lawfare” and consists of establishing a link of complicity between some sectors of the judicial branch, corporate–media power, and right-wing presidents. This complicity consists of creating mediatic–judicial cases without any proof or constitutional guarantees whatsoever, through which misleading corruption charges are filed. These cases are managed and tried by judges allied with the mediatic–judicial apparatus, with the goal of damaging the leader’s image nationally and internationally and preventing their return to electoral politics.

      3  3 Recall that, in Colombia, during the second term of Juan Manuel Santos, a peace agreement was signed between one of Latin America’s oldest guerrilla organizations (the FARC) and the Colombian government. This peace agreement meant the end of the armed struggle, the disarming of guerrillas, their transition into a political party, and a pact to carry out a series of key reforms for the country. However, after the victory of far-right leader Iván Duque in the most recent elections, the peace process suffered a setback at the hands of the current government, which has translated into the suspension of the process and the return of the logic of war.
