Abstrakt: |
This article presents the expressions of two opposite types of power in the city of Buenos Aires, separated from each other by some 30 years (1976–2010). They are opposites in the way they manifest themselves: one, hidden, subterranean, sinister and silent; the other, extroverted and multitudinous, filling streets and public squares. Their nature, agents and goals are different, but the physical urban sphere in which power is exercised, and the social body on which the latter is imposed, is the same: the capital city and its population, and, by extension, the country as a whole. |
