Notes on 40 years of democracy in Argentina: how to continue naming, thinking and desiring it

The geopolitical context of the so-called "democracies", more than ever, reveals their fragility and what we call here, with Derrida, the inexorable law of autoimmune suicide that runs through them as "cracy", force, self-authorized authority of the "demos". This places...

This places democracy in a semantic vacuum with regard to its present, so it is always "to come". In this reflection, we consider "democracy" as a gift in the Derridean sense. That is, it necessarily refers to the economy, to the circle of obligation, exchange and debt (like law), but in the double bind of being interrupted by an aneeonomic decision, of which it is heterogeneous, strange (justice), but inseparable. Democracy as such is then an aporia. An experience of the impossible. We also address a point considered a pivotal point, 20 years after democracy: the debate known as "You will not kill", in 2004, in the Córdoba magazine La Intemperie, directed by Sergio Schmucler, with the idea of tracing its effects of eventability  20 years later, regarding the unanswerability of the question of what is fair. El contexto geopolítico de las denominadas "democracias" más que nunca desnuda su fragilididad y lo que aquí llamamos, con Derrida, la ley inexorable del suicidio- autoinmune que las atraviesa como "cracia", fuerza, autoridad auto-autorizada del "demos" (prefijo muy indeterminado, como enseguida desarrollaremos). Esto coloca a la democracia en un vacío semántico en lo que respecta a su presente, por lo que está siempre "por venir". En esta reflexión, consideramos a la "democracia" como un don en el sentido derrideano. Es decir, se refiere necesariamente a la economía, al círculo de la obligación, el intercambio y la deuda (como el derecho), pero en el doble vínculo de ser interrumpida por una decisión aneconómica, de la cual es heterogénea, extraña (la justicia), pero inseparable. La democracia como tal, es entonces una aporía. Una experiencia de lo imposible. Abordamos, además, un punto considerado bisagra a los 20 de años de la democracia: el debate conocido como "No matarás" en el año 2004 en la revista cordobesa La Intemperie, dirigida por Sergio Schmucler, con la idea de rastrear sus huellas y efectos de acontecibilidad 20 años después, en cuanto a lo incontestable de la pregunta por lo justo.
