The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that the reception of Alain Badiou in Argentina had an early and political character. We will analyze the journal Acontecimiento, which for twenty-five years led to a reading of the Argentine and Latin American reality through theses and concepts from the work of the French philosopher. In the first half of the 1990s, the journal will process the collapse of real socialism and the imposition of a democratic political grammar. In the second half of the 1990s, different political experiences will be characterized as a new political sequence deployed at a distance from the parties and the State.
