Abstract

This paper aims to explore some aspects of the educational media during last Argentina's military dictatorship. Based on the perspective of cultural studies of education, it will inquire on the educational proposals that La Obra magazine provides, more specifically during the period of 1978-1983, giving its long tradition on educational innovations. How far was it possible to innovate in a repressive context? Which were the characteristics of the proposals that this magazine presents as innovative? Which were its interstices, limits and taken shortcuts? Where were the professional and institutional spaces in which these practices became possible? These questions guide this presentation. To do this, at first, there are described some personal, professional and institutional networks overlapping in the production of this publication; and then it analyses the thematic agenda that favors this publication on these years
