Interview with
  • Alexander Grimson

  • Alina Peña Iguarán

La entrevista "Desafíos intelectuales para la imaginación política" presenta el diálogo con Alejandro Grimson, destacado antropólogo argentino conocido por sus análisis sobre identidades y fronteras en América Latina. Alina Peña Iguarán destaca sus aportes sobre configuraciones culturales y el concepto de frontera como espacio dinámico de interacción y conflicto. La conversación aborda tres momentos: los debates latinoamericanos de los años 90, la génesis de su libro "Los límites de la cultura", y el análisis del ascenso de las extremas derechas. Grimson reflexiona sobre nacionalismos, crisis de representación, y la urgencia de construir alternativas frente al "desquicio" político actual que debilita la democracia.
