The scientific institutions in Argentina during the last civilian-military dictatorship (1976-1983)

Abstract

Studies centered on the last dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983) have become a fertile field of investigation. Among the possibilities, military intervention in areas of production of scientific and technological knowledge has been scarcely explored. This article aims to contribute to this analysis, based on the investigation of three of the main institutions of the scientific-technological complex. With the intention of analyzing the experiences of different scientific communities, the introduction of repressive mechanisms, and the research agendas of the organizations, institutional trajectories are examined in dialogue with the socio-economic and political transformations of the period.
