This book is the first comprehensive account of the Argentine
magazine Punto de Vista (1978-2008), a cultural review that
gathered together prominent Argentine intellectuals throughout the
last quarter of the twentieth century. Directed by cultural
historian and public intellectual Beatriz Sarlo, the story of the
magazine serves as a lens to study the evolution of Argentine
intellectuals from the leftist mobilization of the 1960s through
periods of military dictatorship and then the shifting politics of
democratization in the 1980s and 1990s. The book argues that the
way in which the Argentine intellectual left negotiated the
political and cultural transformations of the late twentieth
century can be understood as the history of two political defeats:
that of the revolutionary utopias of the 1960s and 1970s and that
of the social democrat project in the 1980s. By adopting an
interdisciplinary approach, this book encompasses a wide range of
debates taking place in Argentina, from the years prior to the
dictatorship to the postdictatorship period.
