The moments of political and economic crisis in Argentina in 2001, specifically the 19th and 20th of December, do not merely mark an event, a day, or even a year. Rather 2001 is an active principle, a key to thinking about this past decade from the perspective of the crisis of neoliberalism between impasse and insurrection. It is a method, a way of looking by seeing the crisis in motion and in time. It becomes a premise with its multiple meanings, spaces, and temporalities.
 
Colectivo Situaciones is a collective of militant researchers based in Buenos Aires. They have participated in numerous grassroots co-research activities with unemployed workers, peasant movements, neighbourhood assemblies, and alternative education experiments. Their most recent book, 19 & 20: Notes for a New Social Protagonism, is published by Minor Compositions and is available at: http://www.minorcompositions.info/?p=331 

"[19 & 20] by Colectivo Situaciones composes the fragments of a global discourse, founding on the basis of the experiences of the Argentinean struggle a style of inquiry that is directly the organization of struggle."                                                  Antonio Negri
