Eventos carcelarios: Subjetivación política e imaginario revolucionario en América Latina

Este libro indaga la experiencia de l@s prisioner@s politic@s bajo regimenes dictatoriales en Paraguay, Brasil y Argentina durante la segunda parte del siglo 20. El analisis ilumina ciertos eventos singulares ocurridos en las mazmorras de la dictadura, tales como fugas y liberaciones, para pensar el impacto del imaginario revolucionario en la construccion de la subjetividad politica, las narrativas sobre la militancia de izquierda y la memoria historica. Estos eventos carcelarios significaron el momento de mayor fortaleza y mayor debilidad del proyecto revolucionario: por un lado, desafiaron y burlaron dictaduras feroces, y por el otro, mostraron las fantasias politicas de la izquierda que precedieron la derrota catastrofica posterior. La hipotesis de lectura es que la distancia entre el gran acontecimiento revolucionario, que nunca tuvo lugar, y estos eventos singulares que parecian "confirmar" su llegada, se ha insertado como modus operandi de la subjetivacion politica desarticulando el horizonte de transformacion radical contemporanea. "This book investigates the experience of political prisoners under dictatorial regimes in Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina during the second part of the 20th century. The analysis illuminates certain unique events that occurred in the dungeons of the dictatorship, such as escapes and liberations, to think about the impact of the revolutionary imaginary in the construction of political subjectivity, narratives about leftist militancy and historical memory. These prison events marked the moment of greatest strength and greatest weakness of the revolutionary project: on the one hand, they challenged and outwitted ferocious dictatorships, and on the other, they exposed the political fantasies of the left that preceded the subsequent catastrophic defeat. The reading hypothesis is that the distance between the great revolutionary event, which never took place, and these singular events that seemed to "confirm" its arrival, has been inserted as a modus operandi of political subjectivation, disarticulating the horizon of contemporary radical transformation"-- Provided by publisher
