Effective love as an alternative for democratic resistance to neoliberal violence

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to make a categorical analysis of the discourses and practices of the neoliberal model and its consequences on human dignity, through a critical interpretation of the documents of the Washington Consensus and the 2017 OXFAM report, mainly. From this analysis, effective love is presented as a political ethical proposal passed on by the sociologist Camilo Torres Restrepo, as an option of resistance to the implications of neoliberal policies in the Latin American context, from a decolonized approach that understands the territory as a historical cultural construction.
