The research project, focused on the Argentine post-dictatorial political situation, aims to explain the political affinity of the camporista militancy based on the vindication of the interrupted project of the Peronist youth and its revitalization in the political direction of Kirchnerism. In other words, it asks about the fundamental motivations in the recent past and the immediate future that Kirchnerism poses as a political project that assumes heir to Peronism. In this sense, it seeks to connect the ways in which the biography and the family tree of the militant are intertwined with national history and allow him to give his own significance to the political project.
Thus, the hypothesis of this research project is that the reconstruction of the collective memory around the Peronist tradition and its updating and adaptation in the Kirchnerist model are elements that foster the political affinity of the La Cámpora militants, uniting them.
