Towards a Political Theory of Female – and Feminist – Violence
This article analyses the novel Le viste la cara a Dios by the Argentine writer Gabriela Cabezón Cámara. The text narrates the story of Beya, a woman who is kidnapped in a sex-trafficking house located in Buenos Aires. To analyse her survival tactics, I draw upon the work of three distinct feminist authors: Mary Gaitskill, Sharon Marcus and Virginie Despentes. What arouses my interest in their works is their common identification with feminism of…
A dead man who won’t stop being born”
In this article, I argue that Diego Maradona – Argentina’s football legend and cultural totem – never truly left. Instead, he lingers as a ghost, haunting the streets, murals, and collective imagination long after his death. Through an analysis of Jorge Boido’s photographs of Maradona’s muralización in Buenos Aires and Santiago Spigaroli’s paste-ups of his image – not just in Argentina but in Naples and Morocco – I explore how these artistic trib…
Visions of Maradona
On November 25th, 2020, Argentine icon Diego Maradona died, and the international press and governments wrote their obituaries. Unlike what happened with the Argentine media press, where almost no critical voice was raised to remember the controversial sides of the iconic footballer, both British and French media—despite the well-intentioned decolonising agenda of the last seven decades—could not avoid a racial gaze to remember Maradona’s life an…
Maradona’s death in Argentine media landscape
This article analyses certain Argentine media landscape's reception of worldwide football star Diego Maradona's death, on 25 November 2020. I focused on one specific national media (the left-wing or social-democrat journal Página/12) to scrutinize how certain both male and female writers and intellectuals depict Maradona, write about his football prowess and personal affairs, praise and remembers him. The underlying hypothesis of my article is th…
At the Beginning, It Was All Intuition, Theory Came After
The Silent Majority in Cinema about the Argentinian (Post)Dictatorship
The article re-examines the problem of collective responsibility for state-sponsored violence, taking the latest Argentine dictatorship (1976–1983) as a case study, a country that has also elaborated a proper theoretical frame to research the subject. Here I propose to think the issue of society’s implication in past violence in terms of the categories of desires of repression and micro-fascism, rather than the classical, Enlighted and heroic con…
