El movimiento obrero argentino ante la crisismundial (1929-1933) Piro Mittelman, Gabriel Omar Ceruso, Diego Rubén labor movement crisis of the thirties internationalism global history movimiento obrero crisis del treinta internacionalismo historia global In this article we seek to shift the angle of analysis towards the ways in which Argentine workers, through their union and political organizations, received, processed and offered programmatic responses to the unquestionable opening moment of the turbulent decade of the 1930s: the crash of the New York stock exchange in October 1929. The article is structured in three sections: in the first, we will address the readings that were made about the immediate impact of the crisis in October 1929, its causes and global explanations; in the second, we will focus on the analysis of its consequences, focusing not only on the voices referring to the local repercussions (for example, those related to the problem of unemployment) but also on the global echoes awakened by the crisis; finally, we will focus on the programmatic elaborations that they put forward as a response to the crisis and on the identification of the dense international network that influenced those interpretations and that linked the local labor movement with global structures. This is based on a large and varied body of documentation that includes national newspapers, party documents, and union sources, among others. En este artículo buscamos desplazar el ángulo de análisis hacia los modos en que las y los trabajadores argentinos, mediante sus organizaciones gremiales y políticas, recepcionaron, procesaron y ofrecieron respuestas programáticas ante el indubitable momento inaugural de la convulsionada década de 1930: el crack de la bolsa de Nueva York en octubre del 29. El artículo se estructura en tres apartados: en el primero, abordaremos las lecturas que se realizaron sobre el impacto inmediato de la crisis en octubre de 1929, sus causas y explicaciones globales; en el segundo, nos detendremos sobre los análisis de sus consecuencias, focalizando no solo en las voces referidas a las repercusiones locales (por ejemplo, abocadas al problema de la desocupación) sino a los ecos globales despertados por la crisis; finalmente, haremos foco en las elaboraciones programáticas que esgrimieron como respuesta a la crisis y en la identificación de la densa trama internacional que incidió en aquellas lecturas y que enhebró al movimiento obrero local con estructuras globales. Ello a partir de un nutrido y variado cuerpo documental que incluye periódicos nacionales, documentos partidarios, fuentes de índole gremial, entre otros.

In this article we seek to shift the angle of analysis towards the ways in which Argentine workers, through their union and political organizations, received, processed and offered programmatic responses to the unquestionable opening moment of the turbulent decade of the 1930s: the crash of the New York stock exchange in October 1929.
