Alternative Spaces of the“Argentinazo”.

The ongoing instability in Argentina that emerged from the December 2001 uprising in Buenos Aires(the“Argentinazo”) has been one of the highest profile examples in recent years of reaction to the economic“disciplining” of a country. For enthusiasts, this reaction has been resistance, an upsurge against neoliberalisation by people conscious of what was happening and with alternative conceptions of how things should be(;;;;;;,;;). Subaltern resistances such as those developed by Argentines have been the subject of much geographical writing on resistance in recent years(;;;). This paper addresses the range of actions, or“action repertoire”(:20–21), of the Argentinazo to examine the extent to which alternative material and discursive“convergence spaces”() of political engagement emerged both as resistance to, and articulating a coherent alternative to, neoliberalism.
