The present article analyzes the institutional foundation moment which took place in 1983 in the Sociology degree of the Buenos Aires University after the return of the democratic order in Argentina. This event set in motion a long process of teaching staff renovation and study curriculum reformulation. We propose to describe that particular event, in a context of normalization in the whole university, the foundation of the Social Sciences School and the arrival of the neoliberal reforms in the nineties. We are going to use institutional documents as well as testimonies giving voice to institutional memory and looking particularly to the meanings given (and still imparted) by their protagonists. Our final reflections point that political struggles, academic challenges and economical difficulties have occurred while old foundational ideas were recovered as legitim. These concepts refused the extended idea about the existence of a mainstream pluralism, which was only reflected in the elective courses offering.
