Marxism And Elitism: Two Opposite Social Analysis Models?, Adriano Codato, Renato Perissinotto

Adriano Codato

The purpose of this article is to contrapose the propositions on power, class and political domination presented by a particular interpretation of Marxism - structuralist Marxism - through a critical dialogue with one of its most paradigmatic authors: Nicos Poulantzas. The article states, against Poulantzas suggestions, that the insertion of the concept of "élite" in theoretical Marxism may produce positive effects on it, specially making the classist analysis of politics scientifically manageable.

Classe Social, Elite Política E Elite De Classe: Por Uma Análise Societalista Da Política, Renato Perissinotto, Adriano Codato

The article retakes a traditional question in social theory, that is, the opposition between the concepts of social class and élite , already discussed by authors like Aron, Wright Mills, Bottomore, Giddens, Therborn and others. It is not our intention to present any original theoretical contribution. Our main purpose is to insist on the analytical advantages and practical difficulties of this conceptual joint and, at the same time, to make out a case for the concept of class élite as one that makes it possible a class analysis of politics.
