Abstract
The article offers a critical self-reflection within the theory of systems and explores the following question: how can inclusion and exclusion be incorporated into a theory of conflict whose core is constituted by distributive issues? To this end, it proposes a theoretical-discursive reinterpretation of the inclusion/exclusion model oriented towards conflict, in which inclusion and exclusion can be described as performative political articulations, in the sense of contemporary theories of discourse.
