De enigma a paradoja. Reensamblar la política de los primeros peronistas (1945-1955)

This essay proposes to visualize a network of contributions and debates of the last years on the politics of the first Peronists, between 1945 and 1955. It covers part of the academic production, incorporating writings on 1) the experiences of the "interior" of the country; 2) the party and organizational life; and 3) union activism. At first, the text reflects on the place that the Peronists had as actors of politics in the "classic" studies of the area. In a second moment, it approaches the contributions that were made from the "political history", occupied in relativizing the emphasis on the structural determinations that signaled the formation of Peronism, attributing greater autonomy to the political . In a third moment, it recovers the place that politics has had in some of the latest developments in trade union and associative history of the period. The last part of the essay displays the central argument according to which the political dimension of peronism has stopped being imagined as an "enigma" to be conceived as a paradoxical object, marked by contradiction. This conception, it is stated, is the effect of theoretical assumptions that the situated descriptions would be requiring to review.
