The PhD Thesis intends to analyse a set of individual and organisational trajectories that arise form the Peronist movement and suggest the existence of a peculiar type of relationship between religion and politics. Thus, it will refer to actors who participated in the Unique Organisation of the Generational Renewal, a Peronist organisation from the beginning of the seventies (1972-1974) born from the fusion between the “Iron Guard” and the “National Student Front”, and whose objective was the formation of a political leadership and territorial militancy. The organisation’s defining features combine, with time, discourse and types of practice that would synthesise political images and the interests of a communitarian Catholicism. The study of this specific case, its continuities and breaking-offs, will allow a deeper understanding of the secularisation process of Argentinean Society, through the existent relationship between political memory and religious imaginary
