Resumen
Descripción
A lo largo de la segunda década del siglo XIX el Estado argentino resignificó prácticas antes toleradas. En el marco de la modernización social estas redefiniciones delimitaron nuevas fronteras sociales con el otro. La construcción del ebrio como amenaza se inscribió en procesos nominativos más amplios que las elites impulsaron en la pugna por imponer un nuevo orden. Involucró discusiones de índole muy amplia causas, naturaleza del fenómeno, posibles soluciones- y abarcó discursos y prácticas interrelacionados y analíticamente reconocibles. Entendiendo estos procesos como parte de la gestación de nuevas relaciones sociales, este trabajo explora discursos sobre la ebriedad y los pone en diálogo con prácticas estatales dirigidas a controlarla, con el objetivo de indagar en los sentidos y objetivos de los discursos que se consolidaron en el período. Para ello se utilizan fuentes gubernamentales, policiales y periodísticas.
By late nineteenth century, forming Argentine State redefined formerly tolerated social practices. In the context of social modernization, this redefinition was a means to set new boundaries with social otherness. The construction of alcoholism as a social threat involved discussions of a broad nature about its causes, nature and possible solutions. It also was part of larger nominative processes that the elites drove to impose a new Order. Understanding these processes as part of the arise of new social relations, this paper explores discourses on drunkenness and puts them in dialogue with state practices aimed at controlling it. In order to investigate the directions and objectives of the speeches that consolidated in this period in the province of Santa Fe. With this aim, government, police, and press sources were used.
