La revista Ensayos y rumbos del colegio Lacordaire. Política, educación y sociedad entre el período radical y el comienzo de la “década infame” (1919-1931)

Abstract

The magazine Ensayos y rumbos was published at the beginning of the 20th century by friars Benavente and Sisson, who gave it an imprint close to the liberal thought of the French friar Lacordaire. It later changed its perspective in line with the new stance adopted by the Church, inspired by fundamentalism and in keeping with the changing times that were emerging at the end of the radical period and after its fall. The research begins with publications from 1919, after the end of the First World War, until early 1931, after the coup d'état that overthrew Yrigoyen. Throughout these years, one can glimpse the changes in perspectives on politics, education, and society reflected in its pages, interspersed with positions on the global changes that were taking place, with new ideas that impacted elite Catholic groups. Questions are raised such as what kind of young people they wanted to educate, what models of masculinity and femininity they fostered, how they conceived of society and the family, what gender stereotypes the publication fostered, and how global Catholic thought was inserted into interwar Argentina.
