Resumen
Descripción
Este artículo se enfoca en el funcionamiento de la Sociedad Cuerpo de Bomberos Voluntarios del ex partido bonaerense de General Sarmiento durante el período 1945 – 1983. Esa entidad ha ocupado un lugar de relevancia en la vida cotidiana de la localidad pero además fue un actor clave de las intricadas redes de poder local. Aquí se reconstruyen su surgimiento, desarrollo y las relaciones establecidas con otras instituciones y con el municipio. Se plantea que los vínculos institucionales y personales establecidos entre Bomberos y otros actores del poder local fueron la base del crecimiento de la entidad. La hipótesis que se propone es que la Sociedad B.V.G.S mantuvo un vínculo íntimo y nodal con el gobierno municipal, que fue uno de los principales sostenes económicos e institucionales de la entidad con independencia de los recambios de autoridades. Esta relación se vio complementada, especialmente durante los años setenta y ochenta, con lazos establecidos por Bomberos con la guarnición militar Campo de Mayo. A partir de este estudio de caso se espera contribuir a un mejor conocimiento de la controversial temática de la relación entre Estado y sociedad durante el pasado reciente argentino.
This article focuses on the functioning of the volunteer firefighters of former district of General Sarmiento in Buenos Aires during the period 1945 - 1983. This entity has occupied an important place in everyday life and it was a key actor of intricate social and political networks. Here are reconstructed the emergence and development of the association and the links it established with other institutions and with local government. The institutional and personal links established between Firefighters and other local players were the bases of the entity growth. We uphold that the Firefighters Department maintained an intimate and nodal link with local government, which was one of the main economic and institutional supporters of the entity regardless of authorities’ replacements. This relationship was complemented, especially during the seventies and eighties, with the links established between Firefighters and the Campo de Mayo military garrison. Through this study we contribute to a better understanding of the controversial issue of the relationship between the State and the society during argentinian recent past.
