VARGAS, Mercedes. Exodus or permanence: wound and political re-signification in Santiago del Estero. An analysis from below and in local code of the first peronism (1930-1952). Andes [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.1, pp.00-00. ISSN 1668-8090.

The migrant character of the rural worker in Santiago del Estero has been commonly associated with the origins of a process of socio-economic development aimed at establishing the bases of the modern project in the country. However its impact, little was has been said about the signification of the emigration experience for those who go through it or even its value in certain political processes. The following article aims to look at the migratory phenomenon before and during the Peronist period as a way of understanding how this political discourse and that historical experience were co-implicated. With this purpose, in the first section, we consider how the emigration of the santiagueño to other provincial spaces impregnated the local narrative as a constitutive aspect of the provincial identity. In the second section, taking into account the requests sent by these residents to President Perón in 1951-1952, we will explain how the formulation of these demands is partially conditioned by the conflict between exodus or permanence, although trying to intervene or transform it. Finally, we are interested in reflecting on the implications of the 'migrant condition' for thinking about the political subject.
