Description
Summary:This essay reflects on the complex relationship, historical and historiographical, between Rosas and Rosismo and deals with certain problems and blind spots that the experiment of a plebiscitary republic in Buenos Aires presented in the first half of the 19th century and its derivations in the later interpretations. The objective is to recover some debates that the great advance of the disciplinary field on the subject opened in the last three decades and to discuss approaches that put into play the relations between politics and memory, society and state, discourse and reality, individual and context. The arguments are arranged around a central question: what dilemmas does the interpretation of a controversial period dominated by a political leader whose proper name marked an entire era still pose?
