El exilio científico republicano en Argentina. : Contribuciones e impacto de los médicos, biomédicos y psicoanalistas españoles en la ciencia argentina (1936-2003)

This research constructs the vital and labour trajectories of the Spanish physicians and medical professionals that moved to the Argentine Republic because of the Spanish Civil
War and the following repression from the Franco regime. The study starts from the so-
called Silver Age of Spanish culture and sciences, specifically the medical sciences, to recover the lives and working experiences of the exiled Republicans and introduce them
into a very specific scientific and socio-political context: the Argentine context. Then, the Spanish Civil War is analysed as a breaking point for the exiled physicians. Thus their
trajectories are brought together in the host society and they assimilate and are included in the Argentine sciences. The different fields of the exiled medical professionals are studied
in universities, hospitals, and associatons. With that, all the Argentine geography has been covered.
The study has been done on the history of migrations, applying the concept of networks to the exile’s processes: scientific, institutional, social, and family networks are emphasized.
The history of science is also a frame for this investigation, using the concept of generation and the methodology of biography –both, individual and collective biography or
prosopography.
