Abstract

The (new) right and its militarist allies are not new phenomena, although the singularity of a time-space always imbues them with novelty. The year 2023 marked a milestone we thought impossible: the composition of extreme right-wing and militarist forces managed to reach a presidential formula (there were already parliamentarians and more) and managed to constitute a tense and gloomy ballotage in the new presidency of Argentina. What (happened) to us? Given the various and unforeseen constraints of this year, we did not manage to organise a Dossier as we have done in previous volumes. Even so, we were able to give this issue an identity from La Polémica. On the basis of the questions raised in the call for papers and others suggested later, local leaders put forward their positions on the challenge that summons us: to question and rethink some of the drifts of what, from certain political and social sectors, we can polemically understand as a ‘feminist malpractice’ (disidentifying, ‘piantavotos’) or, on the contrary, to strengthen and perseveringly erect the practices and banners that we consider to be inalienable. La Polémica is still open and we look forward to your participation.
