Sumario:The article addresses the main discussions concerning Argentine federalism held within the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires. It focuses on those aspects of this subject that attracted the attention of about 50 students who chose to dedicate their doctoral theses to its analysis between 1890 and 1916. Analytical keys around which speeches were organized, pillars on which diagnoses were built and proposals for reform encouraged are identified. In addition to these theses, the article explores academic speeches delivered in this period, some of the manuals used in the chairs of constitutional law and journals closely linked to university life. The analysis of this rich documentary corpus is a fruitful way to account for the circulation of ideas and discourses in the Buenos Aires area towards the turn of the century.
