El impulso reciente que ha cobrado el movimiento abolicionista en otros países, tal vez como consecuencia de la violencia estatal y la debacle que ha producido la pandemia en las prisiones, constituye una buena excusa para repensar las perspectivas del movimiento en Argentina. Aunque la influencia del abolicionismo penal ha sido importante localmente en el plano de las discusiones teóricas, y si bien ha colaborado indirectamente a impulsar reformas procesales significativas, no puede decirse que haya sido determinante en la práctica legal y política, o en el desarrollo de transformaciones sociales o institucionales de largo alcance que hayan modificado el funcionamiento de nuestros sistemas penales. En este trabajo, mostraremos cuál es la situación del abolicionismo en Argentina y trataremos de señalar las adaptaciones que éste podría realizar para hacer frente a la coyuntura local con el objetivo de avanzar una agenda abolicionista. Utilizando herramientas de las teorías críticas del derecho y siguiendo los ejemplos recientes del movimiento de derechos humanos y del movimiento feminista locales, argumentaremos que el abolicionismo podría desarrollar un uso táctico de la justicia penal y adoptar formas de comunicación que produzcan contra-narrativas sobre el delito y la criminalización.

The recent momentum gained by the abolitionist movement in other countries, perhaps as a consequence of state violence and the debacle that the pandemic has brought into prisons, constitutes a good excuse to rethink the perspectives of the movement in Argentina. Although the influence of penal abolitionism has been important locally on a theoretical level, and may have indirectly fostered significant procedural reforms, it has not been a determinant in legal and political practice, nor has it been generative of substantial social or institutional transformations that modified the dynamics of our penal systems. In this paper, we sketch out the situation of abolitionism in Argentina and suggest adaptations that penal abolitionism could make to face local challenges and advance an abolitionist agenda. Using tools from critical legal theories and following the recent examples of the local human rights and feminist movements, we argue that abolitionism could develop a tactical use of the criminal justice system and implement forms of communication to produce counter-narratives of crime and criminalization. |
