About José Pablo Feinmann

Lived 1943 – 2021 (aged 78). José Pablo Feinmann was an Argentine philosopher, writer, playwright, television presenter, screenwriter and university teacher.

José Pablo Feinmann (29 March 1943 – 17 December 2021) was an Argentine writer, playwright, and television host. He also penned several screenplays for domestic film production and international coproductions.

Born to Abraham and Elena (de Albuquerque) Feinmann, Feinmann was a Peronist Youth militant during the 1970s, considering Peronism as a real mass movement with the potential to change the country for the better. Nevertheless, he opposed armed violence to achieve political ends, criticizing the foco theory of Che Guevara which, years after the Cuban Revolution, became popular in some sectors of the Marxist-Peronist movement, such as Montoneros.

Feinmann abandoned Peronism in the 1990s, during the neoliberal government of Carlos Menem. He later became a supporter of left-wing Peronist president Cristina Fernandez.

Death Feinmann died from complications of a stroke on 17 December 2021, at the age of 78.
