Abstract

The Argentine cultural journal Pasado y Presente (1963–1965; 1973), founded in the city of Córdoba by a group of New Left thinkers including José Aricó, positioned itself at the intersection between the cultural sphere and the field of political action. The members of the collective adopted a critical attitude toward European social theories imported to Latin America and envisioned an alliance between Marxism and Peronism. They also debated the viability of armed struggle, advocated workers’ councils, and identified a new political imaginary for the Argentine New Left, a “third way.” The journal’s intellectual trajectory reveals a tension between the cultural and the political spheres that prevented it from becoming a strictly political entity. La revista cultural argentina Pasado y Presente (1963–1965; 1973), fundada en la ciudad de Córdoba por un grupo de pensadores de la Nueva Izquierda, incluyendo a José Aricó, se situó en la intersección entre el ámbito cultural y el campo de la acción política. Los miembros del colectivo adoptaron una actitud crítica en relación a las teorías sociales europeas importadas a América Latina y concibieron una alianza entre el marxismo y peronismo. También debatieron sobre la viabilidad de la lucha armada, abogaron a favor de los comités obreros e inauguraron un nuevo imaginario político para la nueva izquierda Argentina—una “tercera vía”. La trayectoria intelectual de la revista revela una tensión entre los espacios cultural y político que impidió que se convirtiera en una entidad estrictamente política.
