Redes intelectuales y recepción en la cultura jurídico penal de Córdoba (1900–1950)

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the factors that contributed to the abandonment of the scientific doctrine of the Italian Positivist School of Criminology in the legal culture of Córdoba (Argentina) from 1926. For this purpose, and from the categories of intellectual history, it will discuss the creation of an intellectual elite, composed of European jurists (Luis Jimenez de Asúa, Marcello Finzi and Roberto Goldschmidt) and its relation to local jurists (Enrique Martinez Paz, Sebastian Soler and Ricardo Núñez). From this contact, and in the area of the Institute of Comparative Law of the Faculty of Law at the University of Córdoba, began a process of reception of dogmatic methodology in the analysis of the legal theory of crime; model that displaced the positivist epistemological perspective. In this process I seek to analyze especially the translation of important works of German legal science and its dissemination through publishing companies.
