FOSSATTI, María Elena. De "escuelita del monte" a "escuela de la capital": representaciones de arquitectura escolar y ciudad durante el primer peronismo. Cuad. urbano [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.16, pp.107-128. ISSN 1853-3655.

In the context of the relationship between school design and politics during the mid 20th century welfare state in Argentina, the articulation of the public elementary school, in its material, symbolic and institutional aspects, with processes of urban transformation is analyzed. This analysis shows the school's transformation firom an "outback" rural school, to becoming an urban school in Resistencia, the Capital of the Province of Chaco". At this point in time the school became part of the subsidies provided by early peronism's first Five Year Plan, coinciding with an accelerated period of growth of Resistencia's popu-lation through internal migration. The approach was to consider the experiences of the teachers of the school at that time, complemented by official reports and an analysis of the cadastral evolution of the urban periphery. This firamework allowed for a more complete reconstruction of the process of school design, through which issues such as urban-rural cleavages as well as school-home relationships could be better understood.

Keywords : School architecture; Peronism; Fve-year plan.
