espanolEn este articulo buscamos reconstruir el conflicto entre fascistas y antifascistas en las elecciones de la Sociedad Italia Unita de Bahia Blanca, realizadas el 16 de enero de 1927, a partir de la amplia difusion que tuvieron en las paginas de la prensa local. Tales comicios revistieron un caracter abiertamente politico, teniendo en cuenta que desde el 15 de mayo de 1926 operaba en la ciudad el fascio “Giulio Giordani”, institucion que desde sus origenes buscaba erigirse en representante de la comunidad italiana de la ciudad. En ese contexto, las elecciones de la Sociedad italiana fueron la manifestacion institucional del conflicto que, desde la constitucion del fascio, se daba entre sus miembros y los antifascistas locales, muchos de ellos ligados al Centro Socialista de Bahia Blanca. Se ensayara, entonces, una interpretacion de las elecciones (asi como de su clima de campana previo y sus consecuencias) a la luz de la disputa entre fascismo y antifascismo por la hegemonia en la colectividad italiana bahiense. El trabajo se enmarca en una investigacion mas amplia que busca analizar, en el caso bahiense, los resultados del intento de controlar las instituciones italianas en el extranjero por parte del gobierno italiano. EnglishThe aim of this article is to reconstruct the conflict between fascists and antifascists during the elections celebrated in the Italia Unita Society of Bahia Blanca, on January 16th 1927, through the wide broadcasting it had in the local press. These elections showed an openly politic nature, having into account the fact that the fascio ‘Giulio Giordani’ operated in the city, since May 15th 1926. This institution, since its very origins looked for becoming the representative of the local Italian community. In that context, the elections in the Italian entity were an institutional manifestation of the conflict that, since the constitution of the fascio, existed between its members and local antifascists, many of them linked to the Socialist Center of Bahia Blanca. Then, our study attempts to understand the elections – as well as the atmosphere during the election campaign, and fundamentally its consequences- in the light of the dispute between fascism and antifascism for the hegemony in the Italian community of Bahia Blanca. This paper belongs to a wider investigation that searches to analyze, for the case of Bahia Blanca, the results of the Italian government’s attempt to control the Italian institutions abroad.
