RUFFINI, Martha  and  BLACHA, Luis. The delayed provincialization of Patagonia Argentina (1955-1958). Temas debates (En línea) [online]. 2013, n.25, pp.59-81. ISSN 1853-984X.

The transition from national to provincial territory, begun during the Peronism (1946- 1955), its analyzed from a historical-sociological approach which emphasizes the continuities and ruptures of the transition, taking as a study case the late provincialization of the territories (1955): Formosa and Patagonia`s governorships. From an approach based on figurational sociology (Elias) and three-dimensional characterization of power (Lukes) we propose a periodization that accounts the complexities that gets through a process initiated in a democratic government the historic Peronism but develops in the desperonización framework, prohibition and state control made by the self-styled"Liberating Revolution". The gestation of the new provinces was influenced by the guidance printed by the de facto government, as well as the difficulties evidenced in institutional and functional demands of the federal auditors. Asymmetrical power relations, conflicting objectives and claim of homogenization that ignores both regional and local identities, are the variables of a historical process of construction and whose legacy provincial differentiated on sociopolitical formation of new provinces still needs to be discussed and interpreted.
