Abstract

BALBI, Fernando Alberto. The republicanism of the Radical Civic Union as a value and a threat to the Republic: an anthropological perspective. Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2018, n.48, pp.7-21. ISSN 1850-275X.

This article examines the apparent contradiction between the recurrent statements of leaders and activists of the Radical Civic Union regarding the republican orientation of their political practices and the effective characteristics of these, which often ignore the institutional rules and forms of the republican institutions and even attack them. Adopting an anthropological stance, I will suggest that both moralizing concerns and political practices should be considered in relation to certain cognitive and moral orientations developed throughout the history of the party and that, from that point of view, they implicate each other.

Keywords : Social Anthropology; Anthropology of Politics; Morals; Cognition; Radical Civic Union.
