%X Desde hace m¨¢s de dos d¨¦cadas el fil¨®sofo esloveno Slavoj  i ek ha venido 'explosionando' el mundo de la academia con una reflexi¨®n que apunta a presentar la posibilidad de un 'acto propiamente pol¨ªtico', que en cuanto acontecimiento original construya sus propias condiciones de posibilidad. Un acto aparentemente "imposible" de concebir dentro de una situaci¨®n dada, pero que estar¨ªa sin embargo presente como posibilidad en la inconsistencia que caracterizar¨ªa a todo registro simb¨®lico. Este art¨ªculo busca trazar la genealog¨ªa de dicho acto que  i ek ha concebido como inscrito en una situaci¨®n concreta, pero radicalmente nuevo a la vez. En tal sentido, se sostiene que el acto  i ekiano es inseparable de la ontolog¨ªa materialista de un 'Todo no-Todo' o inconsistente, que  i ek defiende. De all¨ª que los rasgos del acto que este art¨ªculo identifica: su "imposibilidad", el atravesamiento de la fantas¨ªa y su constituci¨®n subjetiva militante, s¨®lo se vuelven inteligibles cuando son interpretados de cara a dicha ontolog¨ªa materialista. All¨ª estar¨ªa la clave que permitir¨ªa descifrar los postulados centrales del acto pol¨ªtico radical (y sus pol¨¦micos derivados te¨®ricos y pol¨ªticos). El art¨ªculo termina reflexionando sobre las consecuencias normativas que tendr¨ªa un acto pol¨ªtico radical as¨ª concebido, para una noci¨®n general de democracia. For more than two decades, the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj  i ek has been 'exploding' the world of academy with a reflection that aims to present the possibility of a 'truly political act' that constructs its own conditions of possibility in the way of event. This is an act that would apparently be "impossible" to imagine in a given situation but that it would be nonetheless present as possibility, in the inconsistency that would characterize any symbolic register. This article seeks to trace the genealogy of such an act which  i ek has conceived as inscribed in a given situation, but radically new at the same time. In this regard, it is stated that the  i ekian act is inseparable from a materialist ontology of an 'All-non-All'or an inconsistent all, defended by  i ek. Hence, the features of the act that this article identifies: its "impossibility", the traversal of fantasy and its militant subjective constitution, only become intelligible when they are interpreted in view of this materialist ontology. There would be the key that would permit to decipher the main premises of the radical political act (and its polemic theoretical and political derivates). This article ends by reflecting on the normative consequences that a radi
