Una hidra de siete cabezas. Peronismo en Córdoba, interconocimiento y voto hacia el fin del ciclo kirchnerista

Abstract

This article explores the contemporary forms of Peronism in Argentina, as well as the nature and functioning of several representation and delegation relations that give form to our political party system, by drawing on an ethnographic research conducted during local, regional and national election processes carried out in 2015. With an anthropological live-politics approach, it examines some micro-political processes occurred among a set of rural villages of the Province of Córdoba; it specifically follows some of the unruly partisans that shifted from the traditional peronismo cordobés to a new established peronismo kirchnerista, grouped together under the presidential candidacy of Daniel Scioli. In doing so, this article seeks to acknowledge the contributions of Anthropology to the understanding of the dynamics of otherness, shaped in the core of Peronism at the end of the Kirchnerist age; also, to understand the dynamics that build up the representative democratic system in its actual functioning: mutual knowledge relations as political technology of territory; logics of representation, competition and interdependence that mark the relations between capital and interior, among States—Municipality, Province, Nation—, and their different degrees of locality.
