THE CHALLENGE TO THE HOME-RANCH IN THE CITY OF CÓRDOBA (ARGENTINA) BETWEEN THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES ; La impugnación a la vivienda-rancho en la Ciudad de Córdoba (Argentina) entre el Siglo XIX y XX

Abstract

The work analyzes the discursive context by which social housing is moralized by devaluing the figure of the "ranch" as the dominant habitability in popular neighborhoods of the city of Córdoba between 1880 and 1920. In this framework, the article reviews the intellectual and political debate that institutes and delimits habitability as an ideological sphere of intervention for subordinate sectors in Argentina. In this analytical work we propose three vectors of analysis: the processes of alterization framed in the construction of the nation-state of the Latin-American region as ideological antecedents to the period; the role of the hygienist imaginary in Argentina that linked to positivism operated as a legitimate foundation to intervene in the popular habitat. Finally, as the condensation of the above, the meanings and valuations about the ranch-house in the province of Córdoba and its implications in Pueblo Nuevo as a popular neighborhood. The methodological strategy is based on the analysis of primary sources, political discourses and academic documents that were prepared by referents of the medical elite of the period. The result of the article presents the state regulations on subordinate habitability to sanitary scope, the political discourse and emerging public problem in the contradictions between secularization actions and the preceding colonial structuring. ; El trabajo analiza el contexto discursivo por los cuales se moraliza la vivienda social mediante la desvalorización de la figura del "rancho" como habitabilidad dominante en barrios populares de la ciudad de Córdoba entre 1880 y 1920.
