Disagreement and Hope: The Hidden Transcripts in the Grammar of Political Recovery in Postcrisis Argentina

  • Chapter
Argentina Since the 2001 Crisis

Part of the book series: Studies of the Americas ((STAM))

Abstract

In December 2001 Argentines began a journey marked by a mixture of contradictory feelings. On the one hand, things seemed to have gone totally wrong (again), with the financial crisis without question, a key element that contributed to their experience of instability and insecurity. Argentina was rightly perceived within and outside its borders as a vulnerable, devastated place where changes were unraveling at an alarming rate and where it was difficult “to keep up.” On the other hand, it appeared that things had also moved in the right direction (again). Neoliberal reforms had reached a point of no return, leading the country to its deepest ever crisis. This opened a sea of unforeseen possibilities for those who were mobilizing against neoliberalism.
