Abstract

NICOLA DAPELO, Luciano. Córdoba and the south between the Juarista domain and the “Roca network”: agreements, promotion and projection of a regional leadership (1870-1892). Rev. hist. am. argent. [online]. 2023, vol.58, n.2, pp.151-179.  Epub Dec 23, 2023. ISSN 2314-1549.  http://dx.doi.org/10.48162/rev.44.049.

Our objective is to reconstruct and analyze the trajectories of four individuals who achieved political projection at the provincial and national level, acting from the southern region of Córdoba thanks to the presence of Julio Roca in the Border Command who built his power network there. Added to this are the connections with Miguel Juárez Celman, in the framework of the consolidation of the National Autonomist Party and the interleague dynamics when it became the hegemonic party. We will work with private correspondence, official documentation and periodical publications that will be approached qualitatively, reducing the scale of analysis, which will allow the articulation of the macro and micro levels and, therefore, study the political processes with an important level of detail, establish with more rigorous causal relationships and think about the complexity of the processes. Through the nominal monitoring we were able to notice the trajectories, the frameworks of possibilities and decisions and the strategies implemented to identify that Manuel Espinosa, Eduardo Racedo, Wenceslao Tejerina and Ambrosio Olmos managed to join the provincial and/or national governments. In this we take into account the bifurcated trajectories according to the construction frameworks of their candidacies, the links built and the performance junctures.
