description In this late modernity in which capitalism rests on globalising cultural models that tend to erase national identities, it would be convenient to keep away from the attemps to restore a “national unity” which ignore the contradictions and conflicts that cross Argentina’s history. A critical exercise of memory is undoubtedly healthier to do than an identity reconstruction. What seems to be important nowadays is to draw attention to “the national issue” by keeping distance from irritated reactions but, at the same time, to consider the challenges which are inherent to the construction of a national project. As a contribution to this issue, this paper attempts to recover recent series of debates on this topic in our country. The way in which “national issue” is reexamined by the new democratic approach; and the apparent distance between how this issue was analized in the ’60 and ’70, different to that of the democratic transition period. From the abundant series of discourses of those decades, this paper deals on the production of UNIDOS magazine. It was the editorial experience of a group of intellectuals and politicians of the left of Peronism who wanted to appeal to traditional identity, so that it would comply with the demands of a society that pronounced itself on a deep revaluation of democracy.

En esta modernidad tardía, en que el capitalismo se afirma en modelos culturales globalizadores que tienden a borrar las identidades tradicionales, convendría ponerse bien lejos de intentos restauradores de una “unidad nacional”, que ignoren las contradicciones y conflictos que atraviesan la historia del país. Para una reconstrucción identitaria resulta sin duda más saludable un ejercicio crítico de la memoria. La manera de volver a poner en la agenda “lo nacional”, distanciándose de reacciones crispadas, pero a la vez contemplando los desafíos que supone la construcción de un proyecto nacional, pareciera ser una cuestión importante para el presente. Como un aporte en este sentido, el trabajo propone recuperar una serie de debates, que sobre esta idea se suscitaron en tiempos recientes, en el país. La manera en que parece revisarse y reformularse la “cuestión nacional”, a la luz de la nueva “cuestión democrática”. La distancia que pareciera establecerse entre la forma en que estas cuestiones habían sido abordadas en los años ’60 y ’70 y la etapa de la transición democrática. Del nutrido conjunto de series discursivas de la época, el trabajo rescata la producción de la revista UNIDOS. Experiencia editorial de un grupo de intelectuales y políticos de la izquierda del peronismo que se propusieron interpelar y refundar la identidad tradicional, para ponerla a tono con las demandas de una sociedad que se pronunciaba por una profunda revalorización de la democracia. 2006-12-01 2022-03-16T19:07:55Z 2022-03-16T19:07:55Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/cuadernosdehistoriaeys/article/view/9924 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/29391 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/cuadernosdehistoriaeys/article/view/9924/10599 https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/cuadernosdehistoriaeys/article/view/9924/31172 Derechos de autor 2014 Cuadernos de historia.
