Diminishing returns, normal science or specialization: reflections on a quarter of a century of historical studies on Peronism

description Since approximately the year 2000, historical studies on Peronism have shown renewed encouragement in Argentina. This historiographic flowering had two main phases and followed three logics. The two phases were constituted by a notorious interest in the first Peronism (1945-1955) during the 2000-2010 period, and then by the Peronism after 1955 with special emphasis for the 1955-1976 segment. The history of Peronism in the 1980s and 1990s produced significant studies, but it is plausible to argue that these are decades whose deployment in research is ongoing. The logics of the new historiography were three. The first consisted of reformulating or debating classical interpretations. This was the case with respect to economic history (was there a Peronist industrialization?), the history of the unionized working class (what were both the nature and the meaning of the sectoral conflicts?, was the labor movement “heteronymous”?) and the history of Peronism “in the interior of the country”. The second logic of innovation consisted of making visible issues previously considered unnecessary research: the Peronist Party, the General Confederation ofLabor, associationism, the "second lines" of leadership, the left and Peronism, science and technology, the intelligentsia. Peronist, among others. Finally, a third novelty entered through the door of recent academic trends. This is what happened with thehistory of gender, consumption, sexuality, affections, the racial and the public. This paper proposes a conceptual and historiographical synthesis and balance of almost a quarter of a century of “renovative” studies. He tries to evaluate what interpretative changes were verified, he wonders if they were able to propose new readings and what were their analytical performances in the development that the elapsed time enables them to think.

Desde aproximadamente el año 2000, los estudios históricos sobre el peronismo mostraron un renovado aliento en la Argentina. Ese florecimiento historiográfico tuvo dos fases principales y siguió tres lógicas. Las dos fases estuvieron constituidas por un notorio interés sobre el primer peronismo (1945-1955) durante el lapso 2000-2010, y luego por el peronismo posterior a 1955 con especial énfasis para el segmento 1955- 1976. La historia del peronismo de los años 1980 y 1990 produjo estudios significativos, pero es plausible sostener que se trata de décadas cuyo despliegue en la investigación se encuentra en curso. Las lógicas de la nueva historiografía fueron tres. La primera consistió en reformular o debatir interpretaciones clásicas. Así ocurrió respecto de la historia económica (¿hubo una industrialización peronista?), la historia de la clase obrera sindicalizada (¿cuáles fueron tanto la naturaleza como el sentido de los conflictos sectoriales?, ¿el movimiento obrero fue “heterónomo”?) y la historia del peronismo “en el interior del país”. La segunda lógica de innovación consistió en visibilizar temas previamente considerados de innecesaria investigación: el Partido Peronista, la Confederación General del Trabajo, el asociacionismo, las “segundas líneas” del liderazgo, las izquierdas y el peronismo, la ciencia y la técnica, la intelectualidad peronista, entre otros. Finalmente, una tercera novedad ingresó por la puerta de recientes tendencias académicas. Así ocurrió con la historia de género, del consumo, de la sexualidad, de los afectos, de lo racial y de lo público. El artículo propone una síntesis y balance conceptual e historiográfico de casi un cuarto de siglo de estudios “renovadores”. Intenta evaluar qué cambios interpretativos se verificaron, se pregunta si lograron proponer nuevas lecturas y cuáles fueron sus performances analíticas en el desarrollo que el tiempo transcurrido habilita pensar.  Departamento de Historia; Facultad de Humanidades 2023-12-28 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revele.uncoma.edu.ar/index.php/historia/article/view/5177 Revista de Historia; Núm. 24 (2023): Revista de Historia; 201-217 2591-3190 0327-4233 spa https://revele.uncoma.edu.ar/index.php/historia/article/view/5177/62128 Derechos de autor 2023 Revista de Historia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/ar/
