Open-access The Civil Society against the Population: A critical theory of 1988 Brazilian Constitutionalism

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    Abstract

    The article presents what it conceives as the three main constitutional theories on the Brazilian Constitution of 1988. Drawing on Partha Chatterjee, it thus presents a deconstructive approach to an important underlying distinction behind all those theories: the distinction between Civil Society and State. It claims that, in order to understand the political system in postcolonial contexts, a different distinction is needed: namely the distinction between Civil Society and Population.

    Keywords:  Brazilian Constitutionalism; Postcolonialism; Critical Theory
