Resumen:
This
presentation shows that, while echoing similar developments in the
Americas, the gendered and sexual making of the enemy within was at
the center of an authoritarian and culturally conservative project that,
rather than being a state prerogative, permeated Argentine society and
set significant limits to the claims for, and the actual unfolding of
change in its interrelated cultural, political, and sexual meanings. In
looking at that project, I expect that thisincipient and quite
schematicstudy will contribute to the new cultural and social history
of the Latin American Cold War, especially to those approaches that
seek to broaden the scope for analyzing authoritarianism and
anticommunism by looking not only at the State but also at the ways in
whichand the reasons whycivilian actors engaged with those them.
