Peronism

Peronism

Order Description

Select ONE of the dates, May Day (that is, May 1 or Labor Day) or Seventeenth of October (Oct. 17) for this assignment, and analyze the historical meanings of the political rituals linked to Peronism and Perón’s leadership. For the analysis, focus on the following years: 1946, and subsequent years, 1948-1950, and 1953.

Hint and background: Shortly after Juan Domingo Perón’s inauguration as constitutional president of Argentina on 4 June 1946, the Seventeenth of October [1946] became a national holiday. Subsequently, another national holiday, May Day, became a day to “reaffirm Argentine identity, sovereignty, and liberation.” According to Plotkin, the two dates commemorated “political rituals” and transformed the essence of the relationship between Perón and the Argentine people.
