Identidad colectiva movilizada

Mobilized collective identity

Resumen

En este artículo se analiza la relación entre la identidad y la acción política. Frente a los conceptos de identidad colectiva e identidad colectiva politizada que han sido utilizados habitualmente para explicar ese tipo de comportamiento, se plantea un nuevo tipo de identidad, la colectiva movilizada, que está asociada a la acción política. En la construcción de esta identidad, la identificación grupal desempeña en muchos casos un papel más significativo que la instrumentalidad de la acción. Esto lleva a plantear un tipo de racionalidad política que se sitúa más allá de la lógica consecuencialista y que se fundamenta en los principios morales del sujeto y en su compromiso con el grupo.

Abstract

In this article the relation between identity and political action is analysed. As an alternative to collective identity and politicized collective identity, which have been often used to explain political action, a new type of identity called mobilized collective identity is put forward. In the construction of this identity, group identification plays in many cases a more significant role than does instrumentality. As a result there emerges a new type of rationality, which goes beyond consequentialist logic and is based on the subject's moral principles as well as on his/her commitment to the group.
