FUNES, Andrés N.. The Peronist commemorations of the elections of February 24, 1946 and March 18, 1962 (1962-1966). Rev. hist. am. argent. [online]. 2022, vol.57, n.1, pp.105-137.  Epub June 07, 2022. ISSN 2314-1549.  http://dx.doi.org/10.48162/rev.44.022.

The article analyzes the representations that some individual and organizational Peronist actors in Argentina of the period 1962-1966 made of the electoral processes of February 24 and March 18, 1946 and 1962, respectively. Paying special attention to the community senses that the commemorations reactivated, a set of relevant sources from the first sixties considered are examined: political-party publications, national interesting newspapers and general magazines. The review of past time - and the building of a future project - constitutes one of the cardinal dimensions of the identity configuration of every group. Through this mechanism, the problems of the present are related through the group's historical experience. In the period considered, although the ban on Perón was still in force, the governments of Arturo Frondizi and Arturo Illia offered spaces for parties called “Neoperonists” to insert into the political-political system. These attempts had an impact on the way in which the Peronist actors understood their political doing and delineated a desired political community. topics where elections were conceived as caesura with an opprobrious past and others in which the "masses" acquired centrality in those past events take centrality.

Keywords : electoral processes; political community; Peronism; sixties; commemorations.
