| description | At the beginning of 1970, influenced by the Movimiento Rural de Acción Católica (MRAC – Catholic Action Rural Movement) and the Juventud Cooperativista (Cooperative Youth), thousands of rural families gave birth to the Agrarian Leagues in different Argentinian provinces, demanding land ownership and better conditions in the production and commercialization of agricultural products. The Agrarian Leagues rose along with a series of historical and political transformations that were shaking the country and the whole of Latin América at that time.
The families are considered to have played a major role in the Leagues. In this regard, the aim is to delve into the structure and organization of the Leagues, in particular into the ones that developed in the coastline area, taking into consideration the strategies of political construction that they carried out. The objective is to explore the significance that the social actors built towards the family. Finally, as it is inferred that women must have been the guarantors of the process of participation of the whole family, their political participation and the place that they occupied in the agrarian political organization is analyzed.
In a dictatorial context of political persecution and imperialist advance, the Leagues were one of the most important forms of political and cultural resistance in Latin America. Despite the havoc caused by the last civilian military dictatorship, it still remains in the memory of those who took part in that resistance. Because of this, the approach adopted centers in the significance that the social actors give to their stories, and the way they retell and build their memories. Therefore, the fieldwork is the backbone of the anthropological job and the in-depth interviews the preferred tool to give an account of the testimonial value of their words. A reflection on knowledge building is implied. |

A comienzos de 1970, con ayuda del Movimiento Rural de Acción Católica y la Juventud Cooperativista, miles de familias rurales dieron a luz a las Ligas Agrarias en distintas provincias de Argentina en reclamo por la tenencia de las tierras y mejores condiciones en la producción y comercialización de los productos agropecuarios. Emergían al calor de una serie de transformaciones histórico-políticas que sacudían por aquella época al país y a América Latina. Consideramos que las familias ocuparon un lugar protagónico en las Ligas. En este sentido, se propone ahondar en la estructura y organización de las Ligas, en particular las que se desarrollaron en la región del Litoral, a partir de las estrategias de construcción política que llevaron adelante. Así, se traza el objetivo de indagar sobre los sentidos que los sujetos construyen en torno a la institución. Por último, en tanto se infiere que las mujeres debieron de ser las garantes del proceso de participación de toda la familia, analizamos la participación política y el lugar que ocuparon en la organización política agrarista. Ante un contexto dictatorial de persecución política y avanzada imperialista (1960-1970), las Ligas fueron una de las experiencias de resistencia política-cultural más importantes de América Latina. Se desplegaron y ampliaron su organización a lo largo de la década de 1970, hasta su abrupta disolución en 1976, con la última dictadura cívico-militar. Pese a los estragos que esta provocó, aún persisten en la memoria de sus participantes huellas de aquella experiencia de lucha. Esto obliga a posicionarnos desde un enfoque que se centra en los sentidos que los sujetos les imprimen a sus historias, a los modos en que narran y construyen memorias. De modo que el trabajo de campo constituye el eje articulador del oficio antropológico y las entrevistas en profundidad son una herramienta privilegiada para dar cuenta del valor testimonial de la palabra. Implícita, se encuentra la reflexión respecto de la construcción de conocimientos. Consideramos que las familias ocuparon un lugar protagónico en las Ligas.
