TORRES CASTANO, Esteban. The Question of Power in Eliseo Verón: Analysis of Social Theory. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2011, vol.56, n.212, pp.13-29. ISSN 0185-1918.

In the present article, the author analyzes the concept of power in the works of Eliseo Verón through three general theoretical operations that set the basis for the development of this sociologist, to wit: a) the transformation of the power in the power of the discourse; b) the separation of power and ideology and the aftermath of the counter position and balance of both ; c) the transfer of power in the production to the reception. Finally, in its conclusions, he indicates how the theoretical operations of Verón can only be made concrete starting from a double subtraction of power; from the materialism of power and the dynamics of power.

Keywords : Eliseo Verón; power; social power; social theory; communication.
