Abstract

The Milei government in Argentina represents a hostile turn towards cultural policy that is unparalleled in its dimension and depth in other countries. Certainly, for the last ten years, a new far-right current has been challenging the state’s cultural policy, which emerged from the post-war consensus of the welfare state, with a neo-Gramscian reading of it as a ‘cultural war’. The case of Milei represents a prominent case within this current, given the centrality of Milei’s discourse on the retrenchment of cultural policy on the government’s agenda and its aggressive promises to eliminate cultural spending, which have been accused of being ‘Gramscian’ political instruments of the Left. Based on a mixed methodology, the paper examines the Milei government’s cultural policy discourses and decisions, focusing on film policy and its agency INCAA. It argues that Milei’s government represents a new cultural populist discourse that transforms a hostile cultural policy into an instrument of cultural warfare.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
