The article analyzes the process of renewal of ideas of a group of Argentine intellectuals exiled in Mexico since 1974, in the context of the last wave of Latin American military dictatorships. It sheds light on the conditions for the production of a new intellectual field, in reference to the defeat of the 1960s revolutionary projects and the so-called crisis of Marxism in Europe. It also focuses on the analysis of political and theoretical conditions that allowed for the shift from revolution to democracy as a central tenet of leftist thought. The article highlights the political actions of different exile organizations, as well as the diverse cultural and scientific works that explain this process.
