El artículo se propone trazar una descripción general de la actividad impresa del comunismo argentino entre 1917 y 1966. Se trata de un panorama que incluye prensa, revistas culturales y político-culturales y libros editados de manera oficial, por grupos intelectuales, por organizaciones culturales locales y por institucionales transnacionales promovidas por el Estado soviético. Se postula que en conjunto éstos conformaron un "sistema impreso" que cumplió diversas funciones, entre ellas la formación militante, la organización partidaria, la elusión de la censura, la intervención político-intelectual, la difusión de los logros soviéticos y la promoción de un sistema alternativo de circulación de la palabra impresa. ; The article aims to make a general description of the publishing activity of the Argentinian communism between 1917 and 1966.

This book investigates a central chapter in the history of 20th century intellectualism: the commitment to the communist ideal and the Soviet Union. Focusing on Argentina, whose communist party was among the most important in Latin America, Petra engages with the current literature on Western communism in order to conduct an exhaustive study of the intellectuals, cultural organizations, publications, and debates within Argentine communism in the decades following World War II. Based on rigorous archival research from diverse sources, Petras book distances itself from existing teleological visions and institutional approaches to the communist world, offering instead a complex framework in which multiple contexts, scales, and actors frame the larger problem: the intellectual commitment to a political project that brooked no dissent. Intellectuals and Communist Culture also addresses the emergence of Peronism, a crucial movement in Argentine political life to this very day, thus offering an important chapter on Latin American political and intellectual history and an invaluable contribution to the global history of the international communist movement. Adriana Petra is Researcher at the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research of Argentina and Professor at the School of Humanities of the National University of San Martin, Argentina.
