The institution called “Casa Salesiana Don Bosco” of Ramos Mejía, is one of the oldest educational and religious entities in the area. Such is the case, that it has a wide local recognition as a cultural, social and even geographical reference point for the residents of Ramos Mejía and its surroundings. In this paper we take a tour of the history of the secondary level of said educational and religious work, called Don Bosco Institute. As will be seen in this research, this sector, as well as the others, was crossed by the different political, social, educational and economic circumstances of the country and the religious congregation to which it belongs that is global in scope and has its own processes that exceed national reality. In the 50 years of life of the Don Bosco Institute covered in this research (1963-2013), we can highlight: the process of plotting the land on which the school work is located, which gave rise to the Don Bosco neighborhood of Ramos Mejía; the large progressive growth of enrollment; the incorporation of women into their classrooms; the first lay management (that is, of persons without the order of the priesthood) of a Salesian congregational college worldwide; and the different consequences that the main national historical processes of these 50 years had, such as the military coups and dictatorships, the Falklands war, the return to democracy, the neoliberal model of the 1990s, and the 2001 crisis, between others.

This article reconstructs the look that survivors of May 13, 1966, had on the writer and journalist Rodolfo Walsh, when Blajakis, Zalazar and García were murdered at the La Real confectionery in the city of Avellaneda, province of Buenos Aires. In particular, the memories of Francisco Alonso are rescued, who related to the writer from the research he conducted on that event, and who later published in the book “Who killed Rosendo?” It is about reversing the perspective presented in the book, where Walsh describes the men who were present that night at La Real, and focus on the memories of the book's protagonists about the author. The oral history methodology is used in this work. The oral sources are analyzed with the objective of rescuing the subjectivity of those who were interviewed by Walsh, and the links they established with him from that investigation, as a contribution to the construction of the memory of the writer disappeared in 1977.

The following work sought to explore a particular type of patrimonialization linked to the recovery of the former Clandestine Detention and Torture Centers (former CCDyT) as memory sites. Two patrimonial activations were observed: the provincial and national legislative provisions around the sites of memory of State terrorism and their application in the local area of ​​La Matanza between 2013 and 2016; and the social dynamics for the recovery of space, putting the axis in the former CCDyT, the San Justo Research Brigade, and a public activity, the commemoration of March 24, 2017. Methodologically the structural analysis of the content of the Law No. 13,584 / 06 of the province of Buenos Aires and National Law No. 26,691 / 11 and its regulations, Decree No. 1986/14; to then compare the categories of meaning and actions found in the regulations with the theoretical coding made from the significant condenser immersed in a photographic sample of local markings. In a second moment, virtual ethnography was used in a community of the social network Facebook. Through the study of the relations between the norm and the practice, between the textual and the visual, and between the physical and the virtual, it was exposed that in La Matanza the governmental disposition meant only a symbolic recovery, and a social process was exemplified in search of the conversion of a former CCDyT into a memory site, where this demand becomes a place of enunciation.

The purpose of the present investigation was to analyze how the territorial insertion of the "Barrios de Pie" Movement was carried out in the La Matanza party during the governments of presidents Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner for the realization of the Thesis in History at the UNLaM. For this we proceed to the bibliography approach on the social and economic consequences derived from the application of neoliberal policies in Argentina and La Matanza. Authors were consulted who investigated the emergence of social movements in Buenos Aires, their relations with political power and their strategies of confrontation in the public space. Our sources came from semi-structured interviews with militants and referents of the "Barrios de Pie" Movement in La Matanza and from participation in meetings, milk cups and mobilizations in the party. Thus, we were able to deepen our knowledge of the tools used by the organization to maintain its presence in the Matanzas territory during the reference period. The results achieved allowed us to demonstrate that "Barrios de Pie" focused on the realization of community tasks in the neighborhoods seeking the recovery of the work culture among the unemployed neighbors and also in providing them with a social and political space for the exercise of citizen participation.

This research seeks to achieve a first advance on mining (mainly gold, followed in importance by silver) in the jurisdiction of the town hall of Santiago del Nuevo Extremo (Santiago de Chile), during the period between recognition of the Villa and the consolidation of the mining activity from important discoveries of deposits, taking into account aspects such as the nature of municipal interventions, their connection with the interests of the Crown, the main features of the extractive activity, the existing links with the process of conquest and colonization, the characteristics of the labor force used, the relationship with other local and regional markets, the role of colonial officials in the regulation of the economy and as active participants within it, based on the systematized analysis of different documents extracted from the Minutes of the town hall of Santiago.

An open and developing field in economic historiography is constituted by studies on inequality. Searching for its origins, identifying the periods of the highest percentage, recognizing the factors that explain its increase or decrease, encouraged a series of investigations that originated, not coincidentally, at the beginning of the 2000s. We propose to take a tour of the studies dedicated to this problem from a double cut. On the one hand, we will select a series of publications whose authors are historians and, on the other, we will focus on those that have been dedicated to the study of inequality during the nineteenth century in some of the regions that make up the current Argentine territory: Buenos Aires and the coast. In the analysis of the selected publications we intend to identify regions and periods addressed, issues raised, methodologies used, sources used and finally we propose to observe whether to explain inequality include political factors or if only variables and economic factors are taken into account.

Two months after the coup d'etat carried out on September 16, 1955 by the so-called "Liberating Revolution", the assumption of the government of General Pedro E. Aramburu and Vice Admiral Isaac Rojas deepened the social, political and cultural confrontation between the Peronism and antiperonism. And, beyond the exercise of violence practiced by the state apparatus on Peronist militancy in general, the coup leaders began a reeducation of the working masses identified with that movement, convinced that said social sector remained faithful to the justicialist leader and his political ideas because of deception. In this work, we will try to demonstrate how the discourse used both those who presided over the government between 1955 and 1958 as well as the related intellectuality with the aim of demystifying an identity built and constituted during a decade of Peronist governments.

The feminine fashion of the Cordoba society of the early twentieth century can be visualized as a disruptive and crystallizing element of the changes that were taking place in relation to the conception and the model ideal of a woman coined, configured and reproduced by the Catholic Church and the Patriarchal society inherited from the Old Regime. So that entering into the apparent frivolities of women's fashion will allow not only to appreciate the historical singularities related to women's ways of dressing, but also to deepen around the most profound changes that in terms of redefinition of that ideal were producing in different scenarios of society.
