Abstract

This article adopts an anti-essentialist perspective, suggesting that objects and actions lack an ultimate foundation and are instead discursively constructed through political dispute. From this standpoint, we aim to examine the role of Human Rights demands in the discourse of Alberto Fernández, President of Argentina from 2019 to 2023. Our goal is to assess how his discourse shaped this demand, identified the elements that articulated it, and determined its effects. Taking as a corpus a set of official interventions, we detect and present three relevant issues: First, Human Rights discourse has a low presence, dominated by the logic of difference, and the President maintains an external relationship to it. Secondly, the demand often emerges as a sealed claim, imbued with an ethical rather than a political dimension. Third, the boundary delineating the adversarial field is defined in relation to Macrismo, leading to the homogenization of post-dictatorial governments by obscuring their differences.
