Los gramscianos argentinos: democracia, estado y socialismo en Aricó y Portantiero

Abstract

This research article analyze with a qualitative methodology the influence of Gramsci’s thought on the theoretical elaboration of Juan Carlos Portantiero and José Maria Aricó, Argentine intellectuals exiled in Mexico. The selection of fragments of different works of the two intellectuals presented in this article aims to highlight in them an evident Gramscian position, since the focus by the two authors on the relationship between State, democracy, civil society and socialism, pushes them to question themselves on the possible alternatives for the construction of a new democratic political order, evidently analyzed through categories typical of the Italian thinker.
