Argentina
An Independent Intellect
Beatriz Sarlo was one of Latin America’s foremost intellectual figures. She helped shape the canon of contemporary Argentine fiction, edited a leading cultural magazine and stirred debate on a range of issues, from the Falklands War and populism to literature and the role of memory in the aftermath of dictatorship.
The Reactionary International
Argentina’s eccentric President Javier Milei — whose signature chainsaw has been taken up by Elon Musk — recently hosted the Conservative Political Action Conference in Buenos Aires. The growing influence of such unconventional forums signals the rise of a new kind of diplomacy, defined by presidential branding and ideological alliances.
It Takes Defiance To Tango
Tango, Argentina's iconic dance, is being reimagined by a new generation of dancers who are breaking away from traditional gender roles. The International Queer Tango Festival in Buenos Aires celebrates this evolution, showcasing a more inclusive and expressive way to embrace the dance.
