La forja de la izquierda peronista como cultura política a través de la trayectoria de John W. Cooke

Abstract

The political crisis caused by the coup d'etat perpetrated by the Armed Forces in September 1955, deepened by the semi-democratic and dictatorial governments that succeeded the state until 1973, substantially altered the framework of representations and actions on the local Argentinian? political scene. In this context, ideas and symbols were born influencing the re-elaboration of different political traditions. This paper analyzes the process of articulation of the Peronist Left (IP) as a political culture through the examination of John William Cooke's political and intellectual trajectory. Through the conceptual prescriptions elaborated by Jean Francois Sirinelli for the study of political cultures, and the proposed approach of written sources elaborated by Simona Cerutti, we examine the political-conceptual nuclei of Cooke's thought that influenced the resignification of representations on Peronism during the proscription period.
