Abstract

El trabajo aborda el rol de la eugenesia en Argentina a partir de 1930, cuando se consolidó en el país a través de la impronta dada por una biotipología italiana íntimamente vinculada a la Iglesia católica. Esa versión eugénica permitió canalizar la reacción de las élites ante una tendencia liberalizadora de la moral sexual, procurando un disciplinado acatamiento a los roles de género.

 

Abstract

 

This work approaches the eugenics’ role in Argentina from 1930, moment when the Italian biotipology –intimately linked with the Catholic Church– was consolidated in this country. That eugenics version canalized the elites’ reaction to a trend of the sexual free morality and it tried a disciplined obeisance to roles of gender.
