La biotipología en el pronatalismo Argentino (1930-1983)

Abstract

The goal of this paper consists in the revision of argentinean pronatalist ideas of the period 1930-1983 and so doing, in evaluating the influences that they received from Nicola Pende's Biotypology. This subject, derived from Francis Galton's Eugenics, was usefull to autoritarian systems so it was very well accepted for the eugenic orthodoxy of Mussolini's Italy, Franco's Spain and the Argentina of those years. Around it, politics and demographers articulated a thomist speech with prominent emphasis in the promotion of a «selected natality».
