La Mazorca. Ciencia Ficción y Cultura Nacional. Nos. 1-2 [all published?].
Fascinating Marxist scifi zine with a political and philosophical bent (can we create a new national culture by imagining new worlds?). The editor speculates on the role of science fiction in relation to larger intellectual definitions of popular culture and argues against a reductionist “universal” culture (a tool of imperialism) in favor of an amalgamation of unstable indigenous and immigrant elements.
No. 2 includes an homage to Patrice Lumumba and antiracist / anti-Peronist content.
