GRACIANO, Osvaldo. Academic practices and knowledge production of left-wing intellectuals in argentinian universities, 1900-1930. Secuencia [online]. 2015, n.92, pp.113-138. ISSN 2395-8464.

In the early 20th century, the link between left-wing intellectuals and students, professionals and some university professors became increasingly visible, as did the incorporation of teachers belonging to the Socialist Party into universities. This article seeks to reconstruct the characteristics of socialist intellectuals' experience of academic participation and university teaching, focusing on the cases of Alfredo Palacios, Enrique del Valle Iberlucea and Enrique Mouchet, who achieved key leadership positions in the party during this period. It analyzes the conditions of access to teaching, academic practice, the type of scientific work carried out by the professors and the knowledge produced in their university work, assessing the bases of their scientific work.

Keywords : Socialism; university; intellectuals; science; academic practice.
