EN INGLÉS The last dictatorship has put together heterogeneous policies: from (not only) youth repression to ceremonies they say that pay tribute to the youth. Therefore, some official parties turn into important analysis objects to investigate aestheticization of politics and politicization of aesthetics, with which the dictators constructed their symbolic power. Among them, the performances during the Founding Anniversary of Córdoba are suggestive practices to explore the cultural policies dedicated to socialize Cordoba?s people and some young in particular. There, the artistic events were multiplied, Cordoba´s cultural identity was (re)invented and the myth of Hispanic origin served to anchor the official imaginary of God, Country and Family. In this paper we will review some (dis)continuities from those celebrations and focalize into the ceremonies of 1980, when the government was celebrating the armed victory over Marxism, but was warning about the persistence of the cultural war.

EN ESPAÑOL:La última dictadura articuló políticas heterogéneas: desde la represión (no solo) juvenil hasta ceremonias que decían homenajear a la juventud. Así, algunas fiestas oficiales devienen objetos de análisis importantes para indagar estetizaciones de la política y politizaciones de la estética, con las cuales los dictadores construían su poder simbólico. Entre ellas, las performances por el Aniversario Fundacional de Córdoba, son prácticas sugerentes para explorar las políticas culturales dedicadas a socializar a los cordobeses y a algunos jóvenes en particular. Allí, se multiplicaban los eventos artísticos, se (re)inventaba la identidad cultural cordobesa y el mito de origen hispánico servía para anclar el imaginario oficial de Dios, Patria y Familia. En este artículo reseñaremos algunas (dis)continuidades de aquellos festejos y focalizaremos los actos de 1980, cuando el gobierno celebraba la victoria armada sobre el marxismo, pero advertía sobre la persistencia de la guerra cultural.
