Abstract

MARKARIAN, Vania. Córdoba in the voice of uruguayan University students. Its ever-changing meanings between the 50’s and the 60’s . Av. Cesor [online]. 2019, vol.16, n.20, pp.129-146. ISSN 1514-3899.

The reference to the Liminar Manifesto has been central to the language of university actors in Latin America ever since it was issued by the students of the University of Córdoba in 1918. This paper analizes how students and faculty interpreted this seminal event in Uruguay in the struggles for a new statute for the Universidad de la República in the 1950s and until the intervention of the institution by the authoritarian government installed with the coup d´ Etat of 1973. In these decades -between the hopeful climate of the post WWII period and its brutal abolition by the “new” Latin American authoritarianism- this language became central for generations of students and faculty members which aimed at transforming the structure and functions of their institution. Two basic texts, one from 1952 and one from 1968, are the ground of the analysis and show the ever-changing meanings of Córdoba’s University Reform in the laborious articulation and swift annulment of this ambitious program of structural reform in the then only national university in the country.
