| description | In this article I analyze the role of the judiciary in an early stage of the adoption legalization process, the sixties, when it was a recent legal figure but had existed for centuries among the repertoires of family formation. From a reconsideration and synthesis of previous work based on the analysis of files from the Córdoba juvenile courts, I argue that in that early stage of the institutionalization of adoption, formal and informal practices coexisted and fed each other in the legal processes. The realities of adoption were diverse and the judiciary adopted a flexible and tolerant attitude towards this diversity, while at the same time building around them a narrative that exalted those features that came closest to the normative family aspirations, softened those that contradicted them and concealed those that could reveal the class fictions on which those aspirations were founded. |

From a reconsideration and synthesis of previous work based on the analysis of files from the Córdoba juvenile courts, I argue that in that early stage of the institutionalization of adoption, formal and informal practices coexisted and fed each other in the legal processes.

En este artículo analizo el papel del poder judicial en una etapa temprana del proceso de legalización de la adopción, los años sesenta, momento en que era una figura jurídica reciente pero llevaba siglos de existencia entre los repertorios de conformación de una familia. A partir de una reconsideración y síntesis de trabajos previos basados en el análisis de expedientes de los juzgados de menores Córdoba, sostengo que en esa etapa temprana de la institucionalización de la adopción, las prácticas formales e informales convivían y se retroalimentaban en los procesos legales. Las realidades de la adopción eran diversas y el poder judicial adoptó una actitud flexible y tolerante ante esa diversidad. Al mismo tiempo, construyó en torno a ellas una narrativa que exaltó aquellos rasgos que más se acercaban a los anhelos normativos en materia de familia, suavizó los que los contradecían y ocultó los que podían develar las ficciones de clase en las que esos anhelos se asentaban. Neste artigo, analiso o papel do judiciário em um estágio inicial do processo de legalização da adoção, na década de 1960, época em que a adoção era uma figura jurídica recente, mas que já existia há séculos entre os repertórios de formação familiar. A partir de uma reconsideração e síntese de trabalhos anteriores baseados na análise de arquivos dos tribunais juvenis de Córdoba, eu argumento que naquele estágio inicial da institucionalização da adoção, práticas formais e informais coexistiam e se retroalimentavam nos processos legais. As realidades da adoção eram diversas e o judiciário adotou uma atitude flexível e tolerante com relação a essa diversidade. Ao mesmo tempo, construiu uma narrativa em torno delas que exaltava as características que mais se aproximavam das aspirações familiares normativas, suavizava aquelas que as contradiziam e ocultava aquelas que poderiam revelar as ficções de classe nas quais essas aspirações se baseavam. 2023-08-31 2024-08-02T01:22:12Z 2024-08-02T01:22:12Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/antropologia/article/view/39175 10.31048/1852.4826.v16.n2.39175 https://suquia.ffyh.unc.edu.ar/handle/suquia/175109 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/antropologia/article/view/39175/42540 Derechos de autor 2023 Agostina Gentili https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 application/pdf Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
