| Sumario: | Every so often, an event shakes us out of our routines and leads us to question the viability of democracy in our country, whether due to the rightward shift observed globally, authoritarian leaders who promote conspiracy theories, or political violence that seems to emerge as a promised solution to conflicts. In this regard, the proposal brought to us by Ariana Reano and Martina Garategaray in their book La transición democrática como contexto intelectual. Debates políticos en la Argentina de los años ochenta (The Democratic Transition as an Intellectual Context. Political Debates in Argentina in the Eighties), published in 2021 by the UNGS, can be suggestive. The authors present a reconstruction of the political discourse of the transition to democracy based on a critical reading of the debates between socialist and Peronist intellectuals that took place in three magazines of the era. Like a journey to the past, they transport us to moments of political discussion that today feel both distant and close in equal measure. Drawing from the contributions of the new intellectual history and contemporary post-foundational political theory, the book proposes to recover the voices of those thinkers and militants of the past who discussed the meanings of democracy while considering its relationships with the political traditions to which they belonged. If the reading of this book leaves us with anything, it is that those controversies and unresolved tensions still resonate in our current analyses of political reality. |
