The martyrology of Radicalism: The significance of revolution and democracy at the beginning of the 20th century in Argentina

The sacralization of politics as a central phenomenon in the configuration of national-popular identities is a well established subject matter in European historiography, but it is not yet consolidated elsewhere. Applying that theory, this article focuses on the interpretation of the Unión Cívica Ra...

description The sacralization of politics as a central phenomenon in the configuration of national-popular identities is a well established subject matter in European historiography, but it is not yet consolidated elsewhere. Applying that theory, this article focuses on the interpretation of the Unión Cívica Radical’s (UCR) revolutionary past during its accession to power in Argentina. The exaltation of their dead as ‘martyrs’ of a regeneration cause was often associated with its electoral success and the democratization process followed by the party. We analize the main intellectual formulations during this historical period, of the ritualized commemorations organized by the UCR, and of a series of particularly conflicting events. In that matter, we took into consideration partisan and opposing media pieces, texts of a wide scope and images which illustrate the period. The article hypothesis states that the revolutionary past of Radicalism was initially embodied in the popularity of the party, though it later became problematic when antagonisms within and outside the UCR led to the 1930 coup d’état.

El fenómeno de la sacralización de la política en la configuración de identidades nacional-populares constituye un objeto de estudio instalado en historiografías europeas, pero aún no consolidado en otros ámbitos. Este trabajo ensaya un aporte en esa clave centrado en la interpretación del pasado revolucionario de la Unión Cívica Radical (UCR) en la etapa de su llegada al poder en Argentina, momento en el cual la exaltación de sus muertos como “mártires” de una causa de regeneración se asoció a su éxito electoral y al proceso de democratización. Mediante el análisis de las principales formulaciones intelectuales de esa secuencia histórica, de conmemoraciones ritualizadas organizadas por la UCR a lo largo de una década y media, así como de una serie de acontecimientos particularmente conflictivos, se apela a un conjunto de fuentes que incluye, en especial, a la prensa militante y a la opositora, escritos de más largo aliento e imágenes que ilustran esas instancias. La hipótesis del artículo expresa que ese pasado revolucionario reflejó la popularidad del radicalismo pero luego se tornó particularmente problemático cuando los antagonismos intra y extrapartidarios derivaron en el golpe de Estado de 1930. O fenômeno da sacralização da política na configuração das identidades nacional-populares constitui um objeto de estudo instalado nas historiografias europeias, mas ainda não consolidado em outras áreas. Este trabalho ensaia uma contribuição nessa chave voltada para a interpretação do passado revolucionário da União Cívica Radical (UCR) na etapa de sua chegada ao poder na Argentina, momento em que a exaltação de seus mortos como "mártires" de uma causa. a regeneração estava associada ao seu sucesso eleitoral e ao processo de democratização. Através da análise das principais formulações intelectuais desta sequência histórica, das comemorações ritualizadas organizadas pela UCR ao longo de uma década e meia, bem como de uma série de acontecimentos particularmente conflituosos, apelamos a um conjunto de fontes que inclui, em Especial , para a imprensa militante e a oposição, textos e imagens de longo prazo que ilustram esses casos. A hipótese do artigo afirma que este passado revolucionário refletiu a popularidade do radicalismo, mas tornou-se particularmente problemático quando os antagonismos intrapartidários e extrapartidários levaram ao golpe de 1930.
