description “Ahora Venezuela es de todos”; “Brasil, um país de todos”; “La patria ya es de todos” (Ecuador). The similarity between these slogans, now the official banners of some of Latin America´s new progressive governments, alerts us towards possibilities for new interpretations of concepts such as collective and public. But beyond these controversies over the frontiers that divide the public from the private, in the domains of public policy, the notion of the public sphere has raised graver concerns. New styles of leadership and their relation to “the plebeian emergency” in South America bring to light a growing trend towards “polymorphous sociability”, resembling some of the characteristics of the public sphere described by E. P. Thompson, Philippe Ariés and other historians of the preindustrial modern era.

The similarity between these slogans, now the official banners of some of Latin America´s new progressive governments, alerts us towards possibilities for new interpretations of concepts such as collective and public. But beyond these controversies over the frontiers that divide the public from the private, in the domains of public policy, the notion of the public sphere has raised graver concerns. New styles of leadership and their relation to “the plebeian emergency” in South America bring to light a growing trend towards “polymorphous sociability”, resembling some of the characteristics of the public sphere described by E. P. Thompson, Philippe Ariés and other historians of the preindustrial modern era. “Ahora,  Venezuela  es  de  todos”;  “Brasil,  um  país  de  todos”;  “La  patria  ya  es  de  todos”(Ecuador).Esta semejanza entre los lemas oficiales de algunos de los nuevos gobiernos progresistas sudamericanos  nos  alerta  sobre  una  posible  nueva  figura  de  lo  “colectivo”  y  de  lo  “público”.  Pero más allá de las controversias sobre las fronteras de la dicotomía público/privado, en las políticas públicas de estos gobiernos, hay una ambivalencia más profunda de “lo público”. El nuevo estilo de liderazgo y su conexión con la “emergencia plebeya” en Sudamérica saca a la luz una corriente subyacente de “sociabilidad polimorfa” que evoca algunos rasgos de “lo público” descritos en los trabajos de E. P. Thompson, Philippe Ariès y otros historiadores del mundo moderno preindustrial.
