I15-R230-article-4692026-03-31T22:09:00Z Argentine passions: between football and pilgrimages. Popular demonstrations under dictatorship Pasiones argentinas: entre el fútbol y las peregrinaciones. Las manifestaciones populares en dictadura Luciani, Laura In studies on the last dictatorship in Argentine, a prolific line of research has been developed around social and cultural history. In particular, they seek to analyse the relationship between dictatorship and society, focusing on the diversity of social behaviours that were expressed between 1976 and 1983. This article revisits two cultural phenomena already addressed in other studies: football and Catholicism pilgrimages as popular expressions that had a singular public manifestation during the dictatorship. On the one hand, it explores the organisational, communication and publicity strategies of the 11th World Cup organised in Argentina and the coverage and celebrations following the 2nd Youth Championship in 1979, held in Japan. On the other hand, it analyses pilgrimages to Catholic liturgical spaces and their expansion during the dictatorship, taking into account the transformations that were taking place within the Church. The central hypothesis is that, beyond their own dynamics, these were spaces that collaborated, without being an explicit proposal, in the construction of a homogenising national identity that, for a brief period and partially, converged the objectives of the regime. En los estudios sobre la última dictadura militar una prolífica línea de indagación se ha desplegado en torno a la historia social y cultural. Especialmente buscan analizar la relación entre dictadura y sociedad, atendiendo al amplio arco de comportamientos sociales que se expresaron entre 1976 y 1983. El artículo se propone revisitar dos fenómenos culturales ya abordados en otras investigaciones, el fútbol y peregrinaciones católicas como expresiones populares que tuvieron singular manifestación pública en dictadura. Por un lado, indaga en las estrategias de organización, comunicación y publicidad del XI Campeonato Mundial de fútbol organizado en Argentina y la cobertura y festejos luego del II Campeonato Juvenil de 1979, realizado en Japón. Por otro, se detiene a analizar las peregrinaciones a espacios de liturgia católica y su expansión ya en dictadura atendiendo a las transformaciones que se producían en el seno de la Iglesia. Se sostiene como hipótesis central que más allá de sus dinámicas propias fueron espacios que colaboraron, sin ser una propuesta explícita, en la construcción de una identidad nacional homogeneizante que, por un breve lapso y parcialmente, confluyó con los objetivos del régimen.

In studies on the last dictatorship in Argentine, a prolific line of research has been developed around social and cultural history. In particular, they seek to analyse the relationship between dictatorship and society, focusing on the diversity of social behaviours that were expressed between 1976 and 1983. This article revisits two cultural phenomena already addressed in other studies: football and Catholicism pilgrimages as popular expressions that had a singular public manifestation during the dictatorship. On the one hand, it explores the organisational, communication and publicity strategies of the 11th World Cup organised in Argentina and the coverage and celebrations following the 2nd Youth Championship in 1979, held in Japan. On the other hand, it analyses pilgrimages to Catholic liturgical spaces and their expansion during the dictatorship, taking into account the transformations that were taking place within the Church. The central hypothesis is that, beyond their own dynamics, these were spaces that collaborated, without being an explicit proposal, in the construction of a homogenising national identity that, for a brief period and partially, converged the objectives of the regime. |
