El Kilombo Intergaláctico Presents:

New Forms of Revolt and Neoliberal Regimes: A Conversation with
Colectivo Situaciones

 movements successfully brought new “progressive” governments to power.
 After assuming power, however, many of these governments have renewed
 neoliberal policies while the movements themselves have been weakened
 in part due to their inability to have a coherent position in the face
 of these “progressive” governments. As Colectivo Situaciones proposes,
 the ensuing “impasse,” between these movements and their governments
 continues to define the current political moment in Latin America—a
 political moment that, as we propose to discuss, despite marked
 differences, is far from foreign to the current conjuncture in the
 United States.


 Colectivo Situaciones is a militant research collective based out of
 Buenos Aires, Argentina with a long history of ties to Argentinean
 social movements. Their most recent book, Conversations in the
 Impasse, is a series of conversations with intellectuals worldwide on

 Genocide in the Neighborhood (soon to appear in English). More of
