REYES, Francisco. Religions of the politics in the end-of-century Argentina: The sacralisation of the identity in the radicalism and the socialism (1890-1912). Temas debates (En línea) [online]. 2018, n.36, pp.85-111. ISSN 1853-984X.

This work explores the phenomenon of sacralisation of modern politics in order to understand the origin of two political-party identities of long survival in contemporary Argentina, those of radicalism and socialism. From a theoretical-conceptual instrumental, provided by the interdisciplinary dialogue of the Social Sciences, it deepens in the different aspects that assumed the sacred dimension of certain political causes that proposed a horizon of regeneration in the nineteenth century to the twentieth century. These components that exceeded the rational formulations, conceived by the historical actors as political beliefs, are disaggregated in the analysis of their respective utopian imaginaries, of the religious discourses with which the militants expressed their link with the cause, of the partisan rituals that commemorated their founding myths, as well as the critical views that warned this sacralisation of identities. The hypothesis suggests that an analysis in these coordinates allows to capture certain differential components of radicalism and socialism, arising in parallel at the turn of the century within a broader spectrum of political forces, in line with more general trends of western modernity.

Palabras clave : Political identities; Radicalism; Sacralisation of the politics; Socialism.
