Apuntes sobre identidad, soberanía y lengua en la cosmogonía peronista

Abstract

This article aims to offer an exploration into Peronism within a historical-political framework in order to analyse and deepen the relationship be-tween the construction of national sovereignty and the so-called “cuestión de la lengua”. In turn, diachronically, two main lines of thought will be highlighted: an initial one, characterised essentially by the “discurso his-panista” and another —developed around 1952— in which an Argentine linguistic autonomy is claimed, detached from the Spanish heritage and more inclined, instead, towards a Latin American political-cultural unity. Within this analysis, apart from the indoctrination found in the norma-tive provisions of Peronism and the modelling of consciences through the educational system, this paper aims to return to the “cuestión de la lengua” in order to situate the dichotomous peculiarity of this political movement, and the importance of the policies used to construct the cul-tural framework and the socio-political meanings.
