El Partido Intransigente en la reconstrucción democrática: Perspectiva microanalítica y aproximaciones de escala. Mar del Plata, Argentina (c. 1982-1991)

Abstract

Este artículo analiza la trayectoria del Partido Intransigente (PI) de la Argentina durante el período de reconstrucción democrática sucesivo a la última dictadura militar (c.1982-1991), en perspectiva microanalítica. A partir del estudio de esa organización en la ciudad de Mar del Plata se reconocen especificidades del caso local a la vez que, mediante un juego de escalas se destacan características, tensiones y conflictos que afectan a esta fuerza política en la provincia de Buenos Aires y el espacio nacional. En sentido amplio, aporta al conocimiento de Ios desafíos enfrentados por los partidos políticos minoritarios argentinos en democracia, los procesos de fragmentación interna y al estudio de las juventudes político-partidarias a la luz de una fuerza que se autorrepresentaba como nacional, popular y revolucionaria.

This article analyzes the trajectory of the Intransigent Party of Argentina during the period of democratic reconstruction following the last military dictatorship (c.1982-1991), in a microanalytical perspective. Based on the study of this organization in the city of Mar del Plata, the text shows specificities of the local case. At the same time, we examine the characteristics, tensions and conflicts that affected this political force at different scales, in Buenos Aires province and at the national space. In a broad sense, it contributes to the knowledge of the challenges faced by the minority political parties in democracy, the processes of internal fragmentation and the study of the political-party youths in light of a force that was self-represented as national, popular and revolutionary.
