Resumen

The differential access to resources: drinking water in the northwest of Córdoba, Argentina (1912-1930) . Folia [online]. 2018, n.33, pp.91-112. ISSN 0325-8238.

The present contribution represents our first step in the research of the mechanisms and strategies generated by the immediate social demands, regarding a set of goods and services unevenly distributed in Córdoba during the first democratic experience. Such period began with the application of the Saenz Peña Law, and ended with the 1930 coup d’état. This article analyses the mechanisms that allowed the access to drinking water, considering two concrete cases: the cities of Cruz del Eje and La Cumbre, both located in the Northwest of Córdoba. Additionally, the paper reconstructs the strategies and bonds configured by the agents who belonged to different levels of political power (municipal, regional, provincial and, eventually, national), without overlooking the human action in the processes of demand and claim, and the search for solutions regarding material problems in the aforementioned cities. Diverse types of evidence have been used during the writing of this work such as provincial and national journalistic sources, as well as the bills submitted by the main national deputies and senators of the province of Córdoba.
