In Service and Observation of the State
In 1872 the Argentine state founded the Argentine Meteorological Service (AMS) as an appendage of the National Observatory. Under the guidance of US astronomer Benjamin Apthorp Gould and his successor Walter Davis, the AMS created a national network of amateur weather observers spread throughout the nation and even past the nation's nineteenth-century borders. The AMS proposed to state officials that in time the weather data could help to better …

The latter half of the nineteenth century witnessed on all levels of Argentine society significant strides toward a centralized state. Earlier studies of the era routinely assessed change by examining high-level political circles based in Buenos Aires. In the last decades, however, scholars in and outside Argentina have begun to examine the period from the perspective of the provinces, detailing their role in building the oligarchic conservative …

In 1868 a cholera epidemic erupted in the north-western Argentine province of Tucumán. Urban-based doctors and politicians argued that fruit cultivated primarily in the south of the province was responsible for the spread of cholera. Hoping to avoid cholera, they advocated the complete prohibition and destruction of fruit in Tucumán as both a prophylactic measure, but also to prepare new land for sugar cultivation. Through a reading of government…
