Expresiones políticas y movilización popular en los pueblos de la campaña de Buenos Aires. La Guardia de Luján y el Sitio de Lagos (1852-1854)

Abstract

This article will address the problematic political transition produced in the province of Buenos Aires after the battle of Caseros in February 1852 and the impact that gender in the campaign. We proceed on the following argument: the political intervention of rural inhabitants and the degree of dependence/independence of their claims is largely explained through the network of relations of power (complex and changing) that was built in each village. In the first instance, the spotlight will be on the different political expressions that were expressed in the neighborhood of the Guardia de Luján during the rosism and the impact of the day after. Then, we will analyse General Hilario Lagos’ putsch that occured on the 1st December 1852 and the people’s participation in it. Finally, will outline the local impact product of the overthrow.
