This article analyzes how the Armed Forces of Argentina used education during the country's last military dictatorship to consolidate their views on politics and society by the molding of future generations. Principal attention is given to changes in the teaching of national history and more specifically in the teaching of contemporary history in Argentine schools. The study of these changes enables reflections about how the dictatorial regime promoted the country's moral and educational reorganization as an essential part of the tools it deployed.

This article studies a sample of administrative processes carried out against teachers during Juan Perón's regime. The analysis aims to describe the impact of the arrival of Perón on the educational field. Exploring the practice of denunciation, the article shows that the emergence of Peronism created a great level of conflict among teachers, which contradicts the image that the government constructed teachers as allies in the symbolic campaign in favor of Perón himself. The specific discussion of education allows us to see how citizens participated in different and heterodox ways in the construction of the Peronist hegemony. At the same time, it shows how Peronism created both new tensions and cohesion among members of the same professional group and similar social backgrounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes a religious network, in the context of the Cold War and state terrorism, that, together with civil and state organizations, achieved the cessation of US military aid to the Argentine government and the granting of political asylum in the United States to some Argentine citizens, and also appealed to the Argentine government on behalf of others detained and disappeared. The religious actors who were part of this network displayed aspects of secularization to varying degrees: laicism in politics, social pluralization, and personal autonomy. This diversity is explained by Catholics' varied conceptions of sacredness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
