BRICHETTI, Irene Elena. Wise men, explorers and craftsmen. Amalgams of the past in the Mar del Plata of the first half of the 20th century (1924-1954). Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2014, vol.7, n.1, pp.00-00. ISSN 1852-060X.

Abstract This paper Analyzes the relationship between culture, politics and science taking into account the efforts of political authorities and the activities of amateur naturalists in Mar del Plata (General Pueyrredón), during the first half of the 20th century. This article shows how a great figure in the national as well as international scientific scene such as Florentino Ameghino had function as a model of local morality of exemplary characteristics. The above mentioned image was amalgamated with that of explorers and such self-taught naturalists as the members of the family Scaglia, who dedicated his life to the exploration of the most distant natural and human past of the region. These aspects were revealed in such different public events as the act and inaugural parade by the installation of a bust in honor to F. Ameghino, the exhibition in the Lounge Witcomb of the Ravine Bristol of the fossil remains found for Lorenzo Scaglia and the creation of the first municipal museum of the city.
