ZUBIZARRETA, Ignacio. The biographical studies of the unitarian party before and after Caseros: A prosopographical approach. Trab. soc. [online]. 2018, n.30, pp.5-24. ISSN 1514-6871.
The present work aims to refflect on the phenomenon of Unitarianism according to the results of a prosopographic study. Through it, we seek to make an annalysis that allows to understand the development of the faction through time and bearing in mind several features such as the origin of its members, their occupation, destiny of exile during Rosas period and their political positions after Caseros. Prosopographic approaches have served to confirm more clearly some general claims of historiography, but also to question old, firmly established beliefs. In this way, we will try to indicate to what extent the tools of prosopography have served us in both cases. In turn, our working hypothesis lies in demonstrating that nineteenth-century factions function and cohere for two reasons: common unity of purpose and a relatively stable set of actors. When one or both variables cease to be operative, we can consider that the faction ceases to exist, as will happen with Unitarianism after Caseros. Finally, in the conclusion, we return to the main ideas of the writing and incorporate an analysis on the historiographical issue linked to the general problematic of nineteenth-century factionalism in Latin America.
