Workers facing the return of constitutional regime in northeastern Chubut Dictadura, democracia y clase obrera: los trabajadores ante el retorno al régimen constitucional en el noreste de Chubut Pérez Álvarez, Gonzalo Dictatorship - Democracy - Working-class We are interested in analyzing a problem of the recent history of Argentina: the situation faced by worker organizations and their forms of political and union participation and struggle, once the last civic-military dictatorship has fallen. There has been a national debate, whether this dictatorship meant such a defeat that prevented workers from holding any form of organization and struggle or not. Most studies agree that at the beginning of the constitutional regime, the working-class was then in a state of great weakness, as aproduct of that defeat. Nevertheless, other perspectives hold that the dictatorship did not mean by itself a complete defeat over allworking-class. Such would have taken place only when neoliberalism became hegemonic, at the beginning of the ‘90s. According to this vision, the return to constitutional regime found a dynamic working class, who took advantage of the democratic freedom in order to reinforce their activity. We reach to this debate from a complex case. This part of Argentine Patagonia is a region of cointinuousmigrations, with a working-class that had no traditions in common. The dictatorship there does not seem to have undermined their previous experiences, giving into account that they were just taking their first steps towards organization. In addition, we try to observe how workers related to democracy and which were the possibilities of political action in this context. Nos interesa analizar una problemática de la historia reciente de Argentina: la situación que se plantea, una vez finalizada la última dictadura cívico-militar, para las organizaciones obreras, sus formas de lucha y su participación política y/o sindical. Se ha desarrollado un debate a nivel nacional, acerca de si esta dictadura generó una derrota que impidió a los trabajadores sostener formas de organización y lucha que hicieran posible la consecución de sus intereses. La mayoría de las investigaciones coinciden en que la clase obrera inició el régimen constitucional en un marco de gran debilidad, producto de esa derrota.Sin embargo, ésta no es la única mirada. Otras perspectivas sostienen que la dictadura no significó una derrota para el conjunto de los trabajadores sino que la misma se habría plasmado con la hegemonía del Investigaciones Socio-Históricas Regionales (ISHIR) Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) Universidad Nacional de Rosario (UNR) 2015-07-31 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares application/pdf https://ojs.rosario-conicet.gov.ar/index.php/AvancesCesor/article/view/v12n12a04 10.35305/ac.v12i12.429 Avances del Cesor; Vol. 12 No. 12 (2015): First Semester; 71-88 Avances del Cesor; Vol. 12 Núm. 12 (2015): Primer Semestre; 71-88 2422-6580 1514-3899 spa https://ojs.rosario-conicet.gov.ar/index.php/AvancesCesor/article/view/v12n12a04/473
