Since April 26, History students at the Instituto de Profesorado "Concordia" (IPC) have begun preliminary research for the Epistemology of History Seminar.
This year the research line has been defined as "Crimes, felonies and misdemeanors in Concordia, 1880-1910". It aims to provide continuity and more specificity to the research begun in 2009 by another group of students who were devoted to investigate the same subject during the period 1916-1920, using as their primary source the collection of the El Litoral newspaper contained in the library of IPC.
Today, first surveys are being carried out in the Municipal Historical Archives of Concordia (AHMC), where students have found many documents. This has allowed them to select specific topics such as homicide, robbery, cattle rustling, political crimes, smuggling, etc., and locate them in the urban or rural space. From here, they will try to focus on the social, cultural and economic factors of each process, in addition to studying the relevant procedures of prosecution, prevention and control.
The Seminar is headed by M.Sc. Juan de la Cruz Ojeda.
