Sumario:Our work ventures on a broad documentary corpus consisting of letters and communications sent to Juan and Eva Peron during the first two Peronist governments (1946-1955) in order to delineate the contours of the popular political subjectivity that emerged and constituted during those years of government. In the article, we first aim to reflect on the theoretical and methodological challenges such written source poses to the historical-political analysis, and then move to delineate the different analytical modes or dimensions we consider co-involved in the interpretive approach of epistolary practice. We put forward then, three main dimensions of analysis: a first one that focuses on the letter as a weave of articulated meanings, a second dimension that focuses on the political gesture of the letter, and a third and final one addressing the letter as evocation of the near and everyday context of the subject.
