In a time when nobody takes the necessary minutes to read a text, where the speed of the message is more important than the message itself, it seems very difficult to find answers to the question asked in this writing.
When the word is devalues everything looks the same. Nobody wants to listen to the monotonous tirade of an empty and incongruous speech in which discouragement and aggression they are the axis that raises an endless parable of a country that they seem to ignore.
What do we talk about when we talk about Homeland?
In a time when no one takes the necessary minutes to read a text, where the speed of the message is more important than the message itself It seems very difficult to find answers to the question asked in this writing.
The culture imposed by financial capitalism is based on the ephemeral, ephemeral are human relationships, ephemeral messages, ephemeral acts, ephemeral goods. Everything has the value of the moment, there is no time to project the future, there is no future in the capitalist logic that scavenges lives.
The word loses value and with it they are devalued the truth, relationships, proposals, the future, politics As a tool for social transformation, individual belief systems are now, are already, and in a few hours, what is said or written is past, plausible to be modified according to the new circumstance.
Ideologies are denied with the speed of a tweet and the specific ideas change depending on the interlocutor and the need to “buy” adherences that are also ephemeral like all of the above.
Of the disciplinary and control societies that Foucault described or Deleuze’s concept of difference, little remains in this hybrid time where the feeling of freedom and identity is also a fantasy built for consumption and political control of individuals.
If there is an absolute triumph of financial capitalism, it is to have led to the paroxysm individuality, even in spaces that declare the collective as the backbone of public life and that triumph lies in the devaluation of the word and its consequences.
Perhaps, at a time when there is no time to think, it would be revolutionary to start thinking that the Homeland is not a matter of personal pronouns, that it is not a sepia tradition and that perhaps it is still that young woman that Marechal described that she needs a future, certainties, and 47 million wills to help her find her name and free her from the pain that we inflict on her daily. Because the ideology does not matter, nor the function that is fulfilled, nor the place from where it is spoken. The first person of the plural prevails if we intend once and for all to take away the tragic fate of the pendulum in which Argentina moves, give us the illusion that the free, just and sovereign Homeland is there, just a little step away, during the ephemeral time that the illusion lasts.
Recover The value of the word, making it the fundamental tool, perhaps it is a revolutionary act. Perhaps the great collective dreamed of will stop being a group of small individuals fighting for marginal causes and will become the one we need to take away once and for all the pain that does not find its name in this punished and devalued Homeland.
