La rearticulación identitaria del peronismo a partir del discurso de Carlos Menem. Una perspectiva desde los enfoques de Ernesto Laclau y Slavoj Zizek.

This paper relies on the analytical tools provided by Ernesto Laclau and Slavoj Zizek in order to study the way in which Argentine president Carlos Menem (1989- 1999) rearticulated the Peronist discourse. It also analyses the effects this re-articulation produced in the identity of the Peronist movement. I seek therewith to explain how it was possible to maintain the Peronist identitary ties, within a context of socioeconomical policies that were profoundly different from the ones that were previously proclaimed and implemented by Perón between 1946 and 1955. Therefor I analyse the context in which Menem's discourse emerged and its entailment with other discourses that began to prevail during that period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
