Resumen
BLOIS, Juan Pedro. Controversies around American Scientific Philanthropy among Argentine Sociologists (1950s-1970s). Estud. sociol [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.spe, pp.195-224. Epub 11-Mar-2024. ISSN 2448-6442. https://doi.org/10.24201/es.2023v41nespecial.2383.
The development of sociology in Argentina in mid-20th century was the product of the interaction between local and international actors. While the first undergraduate program was created at the University of Buenos Aires, the deployment of an ambitious research agenda, as well as the arrival of foreign visiting professors, were inseparable from the funding which was offered by the Rockefeller and Ford foundations. However, it did not take long for the American influence to come under severe scrutiny. As the number of enrolments increased, the quest for a “national sociology” gained popularity. Based on a wide empirical corpus, the article examines the tensions between the orientations awarded by philanthropic foundations and those encouraged by a massifying university.
