Antagonism and exclusion in “the time of dialogue” (Argentina, December 2015-October 2017) La intensidad polémica en el discurso de Cambiemos. Antagonismo y exclusión en “el tiempo del diálogo” (Argentina, diciembre 2015-octubre 2017) Caleri, Silvina Political discourse Mauricio Macri Cambiemos coalition Counteraddressee – Existential antagonism Discurso político Mauricio Macri Coalición Cambiemos Contradestinatario Antagonismo In order to explore the polemic dimension of political discourse in its most conflictive form, i.e., that of antagonism and originary exclusion, the article examines the negative other in the discourse of the governing Cambiemos coalition, adopting the perspectives which account for the counter-addressee in political enunciation (Verón, 1987; García Negroni, 2016), and incorporating the contributions from political theory that deal with the relation between enemies (Mouffe 1999; 2000) in the existential sense developed by Carl Schmitt. Specifically, the work analyses the nature of the dichotomy us/them and the intensity of the dispute revealed in the official speeches, statements to the press and public remarks made by president Macri and other referents of the coalition in their first two years in government (2015- 2017). The analysis shows that, along with dialogic and fully inclusive consensus proposals, in Cambiemos’ discourse the kirchnerist identity is established as the constitutive outside in existential hostility to the entire society, being thus questioned in its right to participate in politics. As a result, even without expressly departing from the democratic institutions, such behavior towards the adversary undermines pluralism and democracy. Con el fin de explorar la dimensión polémica del discurso político en su variante más conflictiva, esto es, de antagonismo y exclusión originaria, el artículo examina el otro negativo en el discurso de la coalición gobernante Cambiemos, desde las perspectivas que dan cuenta del contradestinatario en la enunciación política (Verón, 1987; García Negroni, 2016) y desde los enfoques de la teoría política que se ocupan de la relación con el enemigo (Mouffe 1999; 2000) en el sentido existencial que le otorga Carl Schmitt. Puntualmente se analiza el carácter de la dicotomía nosotros/ellos y la intensidad de disputa en los discursos en actos públicos, entrevistas y declaraciones del presidente Macri y de los referentes políticos de la coalición en losprimeros dos años de gobierno (2015-2017). Del análisis surge que, junto a propuestas de diálogo y consenso inclusivo, en el discurso de Cambiemos la identidad kirchnerista se instaura como exterior constitutivo en enemistad existencial con el conjunto social, por lo que resulta impugnada en su derecho a la política. Se concluye que, aun sin abandonar de manera expresa las formas institucionales democráticas, tal tratamiento del adversario deteriora el pluralismo y la democracia.
