SLIPAK, Daniela  e  GIMENEZ, Sebastián R.. People, revolution and violence. The revolutionary reactivations of populism. Estud. polít. (Méx.) [online]. 2018, n.43, pp.83-110. ISSN 0185-1616.

This work aims at analyzing the identity resignificance processes developed by groups who associated populism vindication to “revolutionary” slogans and exerciced violence as a legitimate way of intervening in the public scene. To achieve this, FORJA and Montoneros cases are analyzed; they occurred in different periods of the Argentine history. A compared approach analysis of these experiences reveals how populist matrix specific features, and their oscillations and tensions, tend to turn rigid in the “revolutionary” reappropriation of their tradition.
