MARI, Óscar Ernesto. The Moralizing and Social Control Offensive Within the Argentine Federal Spaces at the Beginning of the 20th Century. Evaluation of its Scope in El Chaco. Anu.hist.reg.front.

This article addresses the study on the measures that were taken at the beginning of the 20th century to guide the activities of recreation, leisure, and public behavior in certain Argentine spaces, based on strict disciplinary and moral parameters. The spirit and content of laws are analyzed, as well as resolutions and codes that the national leadership of the time promoted in order to be applied in federal jurisdictions where, due to the characteristics of their social bodies still in formation, successful possibilities of assimilation were presumed. The scope of these measures is explained, particularly in one of these application areas - the Chaco, with the purpose of projecting their effects in other similar national jurisdictions, and dimensioning the overall results.

Keywords : National Territories; Chaco; Social Control; Regulations; Argentina.
