(Global) cycles of racial politics and processes of Afro-descendant public corporalization in recent Argentina (1976-2016)

Abstract

In the present work I intend to analyze the process of Afro-descendant public corporatization given in Argentina in the last four decades. For this, I start from ethnographic work and its comparison with previous writings dedicated to afro-descendency in this country, to approach the analysis in light of the contributions that cultural studies and Afro-Latin American studies have made to this field. Pointing out the scope of the global racial race cycles on local trajectories, I also postulate such transits as agency processes carried out by Afrodescendant activists and cultural workers, as well as by academics who were early receptive to a framework opportunities of recent translation. These processes are problematized, given in the capital of the country, in the light of the historical other nesses that in other regions of the same and / or in the urban periphery are revealed, making even more complex the configuration of a national movement based ethnic- racial.
