RESUMEN
Resumen En la década de 1930 y los años que precedieron al desenlace de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la sentencia del conde Keyserling "la hora actual es la hora de la eugenesia" enarboló ideas y prácticas que Nancy Stepan vio compartidas por distintos países latinoamericanos. Nos detendremos en los prolegómenos de esa etapa que constituyen una suerte de hora cero que la eugenesia vivió en Argentina al iniciar en la década de 1910 su institucionalización y conformar un nuevo campo científico. Es un período signado por las tensiones intra e interdisciplinarias, la lucha por el monopolio de la autoridad científica y los diálogos entre ideología y poder, donde se inscribe una eugenesia de rasgos viscosos, cuya polifonía inicial perdurará hasta 1932.
ABSTRACT
Abstract From the 1930s until the end of the Second World War, Count Keyserling's statement that "the hour of eugenics is at hand" was used to champion ideas and practices that Nancy Stepan argues were shared by different Latin American countries. We focus on the period prior to that, a sort of zero hour of eugenics in Argentina, which began institutionalizing in 1910 and emerged as a new scientific field. This period was marked by intra- and interdisciplinary tensions, a struggle to monopolize scientific authority, and dialogues between ideology and power in which a viscous type of eugenics was inscribed, whose initial polyphony lasted until 1932.
