Abstract


From 1922, moment when the endocrinologist Nicola Pende wrote his Biotipología —at the same time of the «March over Rome»— the Italian eugenics began a symbiotic relation with the politic power, whose was scientifically full of its racial considerations. Parallel, Pende’s theory —and the central role gave to Institutes that would establish racial normality patterns though examinations to every people— spread internationally, too. It founded notable receptivity in Argentina, where its development lasted longer the end of fascism. So, the aim of this paper is to penetrate in the story of interactions between science and power, lighting their more intensives moments by means of material culture.
