Abstract

In the following article we will analyze a selection of historical sources and documents from various institutions in the city of La Plata, also complementing the exploration of the formation of the Military Service career in Argentina (S.M.O). We will focus on comparing what kind of masculinities promoted both the institutions of the so-called expanded State, and the one proposed by the State in its various practices and speeches. With this, we will think about the desired citizenship model at the beginning of the 20th century in Argentina but, specifically, among the particularities of the city of La Plata, making a double semantic game between the name of the city and the reference to the men of Dominant classes of which we will study in this work.
