“La lucha contrasubversiva” en la política de difusión al exterior de la dictadura argentina, 1979-1981

Abstract

This article studies the Psychological Action developed by the Argentine dictatorship at the international level between 1979 and 1981. It analyzes the dissemination policy executed by the General Directorate of Press and Diffusion of the Foreign Ministry, specifically, the “fight against subversion” narrative in the bibliographic and audiovisual dissemination materials. We identify the central axes and the objectives in which it is inserted, by linking the material with the foreign policy of the dictatorship in the regional context that opened in 1979.
