L’Alliance populaire révolutionnaire américaine (APRA) comme dynamique transnationale. Du réseau à la fabrication d’un discours nationaliste

Abstract

The studies on the Latin American Aprista parties privileged for a long time the discursive approaches. However, they carried not enough interest in the interaction between the unitarian program of the A.P.R.A and the emergence of a nationalist revival in Latin America in the 1920s. In the present work, we would try to show that the A.P.R.A can be read as a producing transnational network of a nationalist speech for the Latin America. Examining for it the political’s speech proposed by this movement in the light of its sociopolitical dimension, we suggest explaining the nature of a discursive project to revolutionary reach. Leaving an analysis of the role of the interpersonal links and the political magazine in the construction of a revolutionary speech, we propose an interpretation of this unifying claim as the resultant of collective action imperatives. But still, we watch to clarify the aprista revolution speech by explaining the relation which it maintains with the nationalism and a programmatic dimension articulated at the local and global level.
