TZEIMAN, Andrés. The Concept of Fascism and Military Dictatorships: Agustín Cueva and the Debates on Political Theory in the Seventies and the Eighties. Latinoamérica [online]. 2019, n.68, pp.209-230. ISSN 2448-6914.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cialc.24486914e.2019.68.57056.

This work intends to carry out a recovery of the debate that arose in the hinge of the seventies and eighties in Latin American social sciences about the conceptualization of the military dictatorships that present in the region at that time. To that end, the article is based on the figure of the Ecuadorian sociologist Agustín Cueva, who not only actively participated in those controversies, but also maintained exchanges with other Latin American intellectuals, especially through the publications of the Mexican Academy (such as the Revista Mexicana de Sociología or Cuadernos Políticos). The debates in question revolved fundamentally around the theoretical-political relevance of the category of fascism to characterize the autochthonous dictatorships of that time, and here we concentrate on the interventions of intellectuals such as Atilio Boron, René Zavaleta and Ruy Mauro Marini.

Palabras llave : Agustín Cueva; Dictatorships; Latin America; Fascism.
