Information is derived from class transcriptions, from syllabi, from interviews and from teacher-critics’ productions (articles, books, etc.). On try to set the discussion in the divergent context of production of each critic and in the field of university life of the first years of Argentinean post dictatorship. On intent to capture the fantasies of intervention derived of their discourses.
