Abstract
This doctoral thesis, reconstructs the discursive conflict between the power groups around social question during post-Peronist desarrollismo in Argentina (1958-1972).
Discussing the discourses about the social question is the aim of the work but, this broad formulation involves reconstructing the characterization of social problems and the solutions implicit in the same process. This research deals also of the notions of political community and rights provided in there; the limits of legitimate intervention of the State as development motor and the role played by “social justice”, “social democracy” o “social rights” in several narratives. And, especially, the research concerns to the conflicts by hegemony in the dispute generated by imposing a legitimate vision of the social question.
The objective of this thesis is not the social policies during the Argentinean desarrollismo, although some policies had been exposed in order to provide an easier approach to the reader. There is not here a technical approach about the broad subject of public policies. This work must be framed in the Political Sociology field.
The first chapter discussed the most important methodological and conceptual elements that lead this research: the notion of social question and its link with social policies, and its historical and political sources. Also in this chapter, I defined the temporal period and the concept of desarrollismo involved. Afterwards it explains the sense as is used the idea of “discourse” and its linkage with the concept of hegemony. Finally some methodological questions about political analysis of discourse, some explanatory strategies, the choice of sources and unit of analysis, are settled.
The empirical findings are present in three long chapters: “Frondizi y el descubrimiento del subdesarrollo”; “De Guido a Illia: la emergencia de un desarrollismo distribucionista”; and “La Revolución Argentina: desarrollo y seguridad”. Each chapter includes a period of government; except Guido’s administration which I consider an antecedent of Arturo Illia’s presidency. Almost irrelevant by their short stay in power, lacking of originality in the treatment of social question or development, Guido's government does not justify a chapter for his study.
Each chapter is a monograph with a similar structure, divided in two parts. The first one develops the discursive context, in which the social question and development were linked, besides the governability problems that restricted the discourses of the government elite, and the most important policies undertaken by each administration. Contexts do not have a heuristic function, its objective is to do more comprehensible the question that leads this inquiry. The second one analyzes discourse about development and social question and relationships between both. The epistemological aim of this division and its sense will be explained in the first chapter.
In empirical chapters, analysis of discourse is organized according to sectorial traditions on the social policies studies: development, labor problems, housing, social assurance. The conclusions make a transversal view for the period.
In this case, in a different way than in others chapters, emphasis is not on the changes of the discourse about social question but in the regularities of its enunciation during the fourteen years that comprises this work. The conclusion discusses the findings provided by the empirical analysis in diverse ways: two different narratives have put face to face the power groups and government elites. I named ‘desarrollist narrative’ the first and ‘liberal’ the other one.
Conclusion brings other findings: the form in which the social question has been settled by liberals and desarrollist –v. gr. excluding popular interpellations in its discourse- was an important cause of the hegemony crises that distinguished those years.
The methodology used was the political analysis of discourse. This methodology resulted useful to answer the question that has guided this research.
