Abstract
En este texto presentamos la traducción del primer capítulo de la obra The radical right. The New American Right Expanded and Updated, publicada en 1962. Dicho capítulo lleva por título “The dispossessed”. El libro, en el que participan numerosos autores, fue editado por el sociólogo Daniel Bell y el mencionado capítulo es de su autoría. En esta breve introducción a la versión española nos guían las siguientes preguntas: primero, por qué es interesante hoy leer y traducir a un autor como Daniel Bell. Segundo, en qué medida su contribución académica, junto a la de otros autores de su época, puede ser considerada un clásico contemporáneo, esto es, nos sirve para arrojar luz y aproximarnos al presente y a la realidad de un fenómeno como la derecha radical. Y tercero, hasta qué punto las propuestas y el análisis de Bell pueden aplicarse a otras corrientes políticas y actores radicales a la luz de los cambios acaecidos en el último medio siglo, en esta segunda modernidad de signo reflexivo.
In this text we introduce the translation of the “The dispossessed”, the first chapter of a book published in 1963: The radical right. The New American Right Expanded and Updated. In this book participated several authors and it was edited by the sociologist Daniel Bell, who wrote that first chapter. In this brief introduction we are guided by the following questions: first, why is it interesting today to look at and translate an author like Daniel Bell. Second, to what extent his academic contribution, along with other North American authors of his time, can be consider a modern classic; that is, it helps us to shed light and bring us closer to the present and the reality of a phenomenon like the radical right. Third, to what extent can we apply Bell's proposals and analysis to other political trends and radical actors in the light of the changes that have occurred in the last half century, in this second modernity or reflexive modernization.
