Broadcast and Propaganda In Argentina

In this week’s readings and videos, there is a large emphasis placed on the role of technology in Latin American political campaigns between the 1920s and 1950s. Tools such as the radio were extremely important at this time in history because they were one of the first tools available to almost all individuals poor or …

Week 9: Power to the People

For this week’s post, I decided to focus on the importance of communication between the masses and the leaders. A couple of classes ago, Jon mentioned that virtually every populist leader has a balcony. I believe this is important because the balcony facilitates and represents direct communication between the ruler and the ruled. An exampleContinue reading “Week 9: Power to the People”

Week 5 – Caudillos vs the Nation State

I think the author does an excellent job in explaining that the Caudillos were “critical figures in societies torn by conflict, nations where citizens could not turn to civic institutions or processes to defend their interests” because that is a great description of Latin America back then but, more importantly, of modern Latin America. My impressionContinue reading “Week 5 – Caudillos vs the Nation State”

Week 10

It seems to me that there are really only three paths to political power. You can listen to your voters, and honestly try to represent their interests; you can convince your voters that you will look after them, but serve your own (or your parties!) interests first; or you can disregard the will of the […]

Charisma, Perón, and Perónismo – Short Research and Writing Assignment

Corse, Theron E. Projecting Peron: The Constructed Image of Juan Peron, 1945-1949, ProQuest Dissertations Publishing, 1995.   Max Weber describes three ‘pure’ types of legitimate authority: rational, traditional and charismatic. His account of ‘charismatic authority’ outlines its relation to specific and exceptional sanctity, heroism and exceptional character of an individual grounded in a complete devotion out of enthusiasm, despair or hope–– the crux of this legitimacy lies in a leader’s perception by his followers. Charisma is an intimate component of ‘populism;’ as such, its dialectic opposition to rationality and routine grounds…read more

“Power to the People” Research

For one of my group’s sources on “Power to the People”, I have chosen: Plotkin, Mariano Ben. 2002. Mañana es San Perón: A cultural history of Peron’s Argentina. Wilmington, Del: Scholarly Resources. This book goes beyond the exploration of the political tools and manipulation used by Peron’s populist government and looks into the social and […]

Week 10—Power to the People and Eva Perón

This week’s topic has been my favourite so far. Eva Perón is one of my heros/ idols (she’s no Cher, but she is right up there!). Yes, the politics of the Eva and Juan Perón are interesting, but only focusing on peronismo does such a disservice to the life that Eva led and what has […]
