MENDEZ, Jorgelina e VUKSINIC, Natalia. The National Pedagogical Congress as historical revenge: the participation of the Catholic Church from the voice of a group of catholic women (Province of Buenos Aires, 1984-1988). Hist. educ. anu. [online]. 2023, vol.24, n.2, pp.29-52. Epub 01-Ago-2023. ISSN 2313-9277. http://dx.doi.org/10.51438/2313-9277.2023.24.2.e007.
This article intends to investigate a fundamental process about Argentine education 40 years after the recovery of democracy: the National Pedagogical Congress (1984-1988). It is analyzed from the intervention of the Catholic Church in the debate, favoring a look from the bottom investigating subjective elements of those who act on its behalf. For this, the relevant sources of the realization of the Congress such as, documents, debates, regulations, jurisdictional reports, and interviews, were articulated with the oral account of a community of Catholic women who participated in it in various institutional roles. Recovering its interventions in local, regional, and provincial instances allows us to visualize them as key spaces in which the Church ―in tension with other actors― managed to hegemonize the debate with strong representation, forcing the government to negotiate and moderate positions. This call thus became an opportunity for historical revenge to participate in the face of the frustrated experience of 1882. However, it also required a strategy to deal with internal differences that resulted in an interjurisdictional dispute in educational matters. Although the National Pedagogical Congress (NPC) failed to channel participation, plurality, or democratization, it drew a line of continuity between previous and subsequent debates and laid the foundations for a discussion that became public by placing education in a central place, a place that 40 years of recovery of democracy we deserve to resignify and deepen.
