Familias obreras en la Argentina de entreguerras. Un enfoque desde los archivos de empresa

Abstract

The increase development of the history, from our adopted perspective, is subordinated to the difficulties to have access to the files inside the companies. This fact was one of the reasons which have hindered the connection between the new labor history and the history of the family and it has limited the fruitful analysis to focus on the link between both spheres. This paper focus to the family groups inserted in a textile company, Algodonera Flandria, between the years 1924 and 1945. The aims is to rebuilt the way in which the family affects the conditions in the company linking the family behavior to the process of the industrial work located in the center of the workers’ life. That is to say, that the strategies are analyzed and the mutations that the industrializing process generated in the family relations. In order to get this aims the productions conditions are rebuilt, the active workers, the age of matrimony, the professional endogamy, the family roles, and the role of the social networks.
