Abstract

DE PAZ TRUEBA, Yolanda. Voluntades provinciales, instituciones locales: los menores de edad en la intersección. Provincia de Buenos Aires, años ‘20. Av. Cesor [online]. 2022, vol.19, n.27, pp.7-7. ISSN 1514-3899.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.35305/ac.v19i27.1694.

In the 1920s, the province of Buenos Aires showed signs of carrying out an incipient policy of intervention on a minority sector. However, these advances were not enough to meet the growing needs of a growing sector of the population, especially abandoned minors or those who, even having a family, required some type of institutionalization. Those who provided this help were, in most cases, organizations that did not belong to the state orbit but had been formed within secular associations linked to the Catholic Church.

This work seeks (combining the analysis of state sources with others of an institutional nature), to reflect on these actions by analyzing their implementation in a men's asylum in the center of the province of Buenos Aires, which in the 1920s expanded its functions, adapting to changing demands. In short, this is a study focused on actions for poor children within a particular institution, without losing sight of the interaction with provincial policies.

Keywords : Intervention; provincial politics; asylums; Catholic Church.
