ABSTRACT

Modernism has left as its legacy one of the biggest speculative battles based on the opposition of the subject to structure or its variant, with history striving against structure. In an effort to make a brief contribution, it is important to remark that the abovementioned juxtaposition involves a particular configuration concerning theoretical as well as historical and political aspects. Montoneros is a name that stems from the upheavals that occurred in Argentina in the mid-nineteenth century and established itself through its invocation and circulation at the centre of the emancipationist fights of the late-twentieth century. What is then the Montoneros ethos? A mere exultation in its discourse, or condemnation of it that reduces it to a series of determinations that presuppose a subject that cannot be accounted for seem insufficient.
