ANAPIOS, Luciana. La ciudad de las bombas: El anarquismo y la "propaganda por el hecho" en la Buenos Aires de los años veinte. Bol. Inst. Hist. Argent. Am. Dr. Emilio Ravignani [online]. 2013, n.39, pp.42-75. ISSN 0524-9767.

This article aims at analyzing the practices and representations of the short but intense "deriva violenta" anarchist cycle that took place between the late twenties and the early thirties in Buenos Aires city. During this period, a section of the local anarchist movement moved to action by means of a wide range of actions that brought them close to the dim universe of common crime, as well as to explicit attacks on symbolic places and civilian targets. The "propaganda by deed" and the "expropriations" as ways of financing not only had an impact on the commercial press, but they also reopened a series of internal debates existent in anarchism since the late nineteenth century and brought up to date in the heat of the internal conflicts and tensions spanning the movement in the context of the late 1920s.
