(The articulation of the kirchnerist discourse and the piquetero movement)

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to address the unique articulation between the kirchnerist discourse and the piquetero movement from the perspective of the Political Theory of discourse, using the articulation method from two sources: the available bibliography of different theoretical perspectives and journalistic news. This problem is important since different theoretical-political perspectives have consolidated the hypothesis of the co-option of the piqueteros by kirchnerism. Against that interpretation, this work maintains that said articulatory process generated an identity bond between the Kirchner signifier and the piqueteros made possible by the equivalence in the constitutive exteriority: the neoliberal discourse. The radical inclusion of the piqueteros introduced excess into the political community, pushing the limits of official discourse to advance beyond the limits of what was possible and thinkable and, at the same time, allowed the constitution of the piqueteros as a social movement. -political, which were part of a series of heterogeneous demands, overflowing their particularism. The new social movements were no longer limited to just discussing social programs and subsidies, but rather defining the contours of order in its generality and articulating many more heterogeneous demands; This is what we call in the conclusions the logic of excess.
