Abstract

The fundamental objective of this paper is to disinter —as a contribution to the history of ideas— unpublished homologies between American and Argentine eugenic discourses, through two emblematic figures in two contexts: the biologist Paul Bowman Popenoe (in the United States) and the lawyer Carlos Hermenegildo Bernaldo de Quirós (in Argentina). It seeks to give visibility to certain ideological confluences between “hard” and “soft” eugenics from the analysis of the linked biopolitical strategies of partner choice and family preservation devised by these representatives of the scientific elite in their respective countries.
