A professional community in public works? Businessmen, engineers and public officers during dictatorship in Argentina (1976 - 1981)
Abstract
This article focuses on the existence of a professional community
linked to the development of public works, with
crossed trajectories and multiple belongings in public and
private areas during the last military dictatorship. Based
on the analysis of professional trajectories, meetings and
dialogues, critiques and exchanges, the article seeks to investigate
the existence of a professional community and
in what ways it materialized its orientations within the
framework of the last dictatorship. It also seeks to study
how porous were the boundaries between public and private
fields in the area of public works in that period and
the continuities and ruptures with previous times.
