Marcelo T. de Alvear

'Cuarteles de invierno' de Osvaldo Soriano es una postal de la Argentina traumática de los 70. En Europa, Soriano ya era famoso por Triste, solitario y final, pero el libro suyo que yo amo más es Cuarteles de invierno, con sus magníficos protagonistas; dos vencidos, marginados, pero llenos de orgullo y de dignidad. Son precisamente ellos quienes entienden la Historia en su propia piel; la violencia, el abuso y la dictadura que se han apoderado de la Argentina.

"Examines in great detail economic policy-making during the presidency of Alfonsín. Sees the administration's ultimate failure occurring due to the attempts to make social pacts with the corporatist bodies representing labor, agriculture, and industry. Author believes that the administration lost its credibility by attempting policies that had little chance of success"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

This book aims at following a path of tensions, analysing the forms born by the internationalization projects Argentine art and artistic avant-gardes adopted in the sixties. The author describes the conditions that paved the way for their conception, the strategies to accomplish them, the images that best suited their representation and the antagonistic and opposing discourses, which beat the rhythm of the controversies that characterized the period.

Looks at the life of one of the founders of Argentine Nationalism, Enrique Osés. Osés began as a Catholic and confessional journalist, who continued as a journalist and nationalist thinker and who finally stands as the leader of the most influential political movement outside the political parties of the system.
