摘要:Evangelical Biblical-conservative political parties in Argentina: formation
and decline 1991-2001
The object of study of this paper is a series of attempts of creation of denominational
political parties on the part of evangelical Biblical conservatives in
Argentina, specially concentrated in Buenos Aires (Capital Federal) and its conurbano
(a ring of surrounding counties known as partidos or municípios), between
years 1991 and 2001, with antecedents at the beginning of the decade of
the 80s. This study makes part of a major reach investigation in progress. The
conceptual approach is based on social movements and frames theory, and the
methodology in participative research, documentary analysis and interviews to
the actors of all the involved segments. The main results show that the creation of
parties arose as a project of demoliberal evangelicales in the early 80s but followed
lead mainly from the 90s by “neoclassic” pentecostales while the endeavor
leadership moved from Capital Federal to the conurbano. Then it evolved towards
a reconstructionist utopia of subjection of the society to the Biblical, mainly
inspired in the Old Testament, mandate, and later towards the inclusion in alliances
with the center-left and the liberationist Catholicism, oriented by the utopia
of subjection to the Biblical values taken from the Gospels. The endeavor did not
progress in the congregations battle arena, to which it always went, because the
pastors and federations of churches they managed, restricted the access, and
because the Pentecostal vote seems not to be a docile “evangelical vote”: existing
ethnographic and quantitative studies indicate affinities between the culture of the
pentecostal public and the justicialismo (Peronism). From his study finally the
author draws several theoretical conclusions.
