Peronist university policy and the reformist student movement: actors, conflicts and opposing views (1943-1955)

Abstract

in this paper we outline a point of view about the relation between the Peronist government and the student university movement, in the course of the decade that goes between the year 1946 and 1955. With such purposes, we are going to bear different levels of analysis in mind: on the first hand, the complexity of the political scene started in Argentina in June, 1943, as well as the strong influence of the international frame during these years. On the other hand, the strong presence of the reformist "tradition" in the students, the regulations sanctioned since 1947 and the vision of the Peronism on the university institution, they are going to enlight on the positions assumed in that conflictive relation. Finally, we will specify the evolution of the student movement into the University of Buenos Aires: the main politicalforcesthatcompossed it, its slogans for the ac- tion, ¡ts positions opposing to the government and the shades in the matter.
