ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the process of “peronization” and “deperonization” of Universidad Obrera Nacional between 1953 and 1956. We will present - in principle - the characteristics of the process of “peronization” of the referred institution, within the framework of a general attempt by the Peronist government to “politicize” the entire educational system. Next, we will approach the process of “deperonization” of this institution - open from the coup d’État to Perón, on September 16, 1955 - through which students and the new authorities involved in the house of studies dismantled the symbolic apparatus mounted by Peronism during its first two years of operation, under the government chaired by Perón (1953-1955). To carry out this study, we will review various documentary sources of an institutional and official nature, and information from interviews with former students of the institution.
