Simulation, Calculation and Resentment. A Reading of the Intellectuals' Interpretations of the Anti-Peronist 'Progressivism' on the Kirchner years

The present work tries to trace an interpretive look on the conformation and updating of the anti-Peronist / Kirchnerist discourse in the intellectuals identified in progressivism during the Cristina Fernandez governments. It is interesting to approach these texts, which belong to recognized intellectual references, to capture the nodal points of a discourse that disputes hegemony in the conformation of a story about our history and our future. The hypothesis that we maintain is that in these materials there is a reflected thought that transcends media immediacy and it is therefore essential to deepen this line. In turn, these texts are the starting point for numerous interpretations that will cross different media, that is, they are constituted as a social interpretation powerhouse. Thinking progressivism as a broad space in dispute composed of figures that come from different backgrounds is important to understand the antiPeronist update in an anti-Kirchnerist key. For this work we will take La audacia y el calculo, by Beatriz Sarlo (2011); El simulacro, by Alejandro Katz (2013); Las huellas del rencor, by Santiago Kovadloff (2015); and Argentinismos, by Martin Caparros (2011). In methodological terms, the work is based on a political analysis of the discourse from a post-foundational methodological theoretical perspective, based on a corpus based on political books of various ideological referents of the anti-Peronist camp.
