Modernidad y tradición en la refundación de la Sociedad de Beneficencia por las damas de la élite, durante el Estado de Buenos Aires, 1852-1862

Abstract

This work analyses the leading propositions of modern social policy during Buenos Aires State, 1852-1862, through the recreation of Sociedad de Beneficencia that had been practically suppressed by Rosas, ransoming the rector principies which induced Rivadavia to gestate it, it was the State who was responsible of the social policy, occupying the space of the church. The administration of this social aid institution -which would be the biggest ever known in the Río de la Plata- were in charge of elite women and it formed part of the process of building of a National State, leadered by Buenos Aires.
