Background and origins of the first experiences of peronization in the UBA 1966 - 1970

Abstract

In this article I intend to reconstruct the first experiences of peronization on students, teachers, and intellectuals of Buenos Aires, after the 1966 coup d’État. After an introduction on the manner that some contemporary protagonists interpreted the university intervention decreed by the military regime, I will focus on the student groups that changed their affiliations towards Peronism after that fact. In this regard, I will examine the previous career of their main leaders and militants. Secondly, I will inquire on the manner in which they understood Peronism and the key role played by the CGT de los Argentinos in this matter. Finally, I will analyze the career of the members of the National Chairs of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, and their influence on the politicization of university students from Buenos Aires. Within this thematic order, the first sections of the article present a historiographical reconstruction of the aforementioned experiences, while the last section seeks to problematize the manner in which the subject of peronization is approached in recent studies, on the basis of the experiences mentioned.
