Argentinity: an interpretative frame

Abstract

In the early twentieth Century, at the intersection between social changes generated by the great immigration and the Centennial of the May revolution, Argentinity term arises to designate a way of governing, rather than a designation of Argentinean manner. So, the question for Argentinity and the term itself emerges as a problem from a reconfiguration of the field of pre-existing power relations, that needs of  biopolitical forms of governance, to re-stabilize itself and /or neutralize resistance: to govern is to populate, to govern is to educate, to govern is to argentinize.
