supercrítico

Supercrítico is a term used in the field of critical theory to describe a type of critique that goes beyond the conventional analysis of a text, work of art, or social phenomenon. It is characterized by its depth, breadth, and often its radical nature. Supercríticos aim to challenge the very foundations of the subject they are analyzing, questioning not just the surface-level aspects, but the underlying structures, ideologies, and power dynamics that shape them.

The concept of supercrítico emerged in the late 20th century, largely influenced by the works of thinkers such as Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, and Gilles Deleuze. These philosophers argued that traditional forms of critique often overlook the deeper, more systemic issues that shape our world. Supercríticos, therefore, seek to uncover these hidden structures and expose the ways in which they perpetuate inequality, oppression, and other forms of social injustice.

Supercríticos often employ a variety of methodologies, including deconstruction, genealogy, and difference theory, to challenge and disrupt the dominant narratives and ideologies that shape our understanding of the world. They may also engage in forms of political activism, using their critique to inspire social change and challenge the status quo.

While the term supercrítico is not universally accepted and its use can be controversial, it has been influential in shaping the landscape of critical theory and has inspired many scholars and activists to engage in more radical forms of critique.
