El vínculo teatro - Estado (2003-2015): un abordaje posible

Abstract

The present work focuses on the relationship between the State and the Alternative theater Subsystem during the period 2003-2015 in the City of Buenos Aires, in which there was a strong intervention of the National State in theater production in the form of financing to the production of works. We maintain that this link had a conflictive nature, and to argue this we use as a case study, the Concertation Regime for unofficial theatrical activity implemented by the National Theater Law No. 24800/97. From this we take the interpretation made by the philosopher Paul Ricoeur (1970) regarding the work of Sigmund Freud, as a tool to think about the paradigms around the various criteria of legitimacy and validation that operated at the time since it allows us explain the relationships between theater and the State, in the first from theatrical production, and in the second, in terms of public policies.
