Descripción
Sumario:Taking as a source of study the Official Texts of the Fiesta Provincial del Inmigrante (Berisso, Argentina, 1980-2015) the article proposes analyzes the place that occupied the above mentioned support/channel written in the fixation, reproduction and transmission of Berisso’s official memory. Focusing on the editorials written by the representatives of the Asociación de Entidades Extranjeras and the municipal intendency, we will show the way in which the selection of different facts of the past became central to build an imaginary about the berissense community, to institute the ultramarine immigrants in mythical figures of the local memory, to legitimize their descendants and to elaborate a reading on the present. The analysis is divided,along the article, in four historical periods: 1º) the dictatorship (09/1980-09/1983), 2º) the democratic reestablishment (09/1984-09/1989), 3º) the nineties (09/1990-09/2002) and 4º) the post crisis of the year 2001 (09/2003-09/2015).
