Abstract
PAROT VARELA, Pilar. Extensión universitaria y socialismo. Las lecturas de la Reforma universitaria desde el Ateneo Popular. Sociohistórica [online]. 2022, n.50, e179. ISSN 1852-1606. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/18521606e179.
The article analyzes the relationship between socialism, university extension and the student movement based on a comparison between the official position of the Socialist Party regarding the University Reform and the position of the socialists who were part of the Popular Athenaeum (founded by Enrique Del Valle Iberlucea and Alicia Moreau). We will show that, in contrast to the liberal and anticlerical reading of Juan B. Justo, the members of the Popular Athenaeum interpreted the University Reform in a working-class way and as part of a movement for university renewal that for years had sought to incorporate workers into the university through popular education projects. The popular Athenaeum and its dissemination organ, the Humanidad Nueva magazine, brought together a group of young people who would support Del Valle Iberlucea in his third-party position and who would undertake a process of radicalization of the student movement.
