Agencias e “inmoralidades”: la circulación de directivas político-culturales entre la Secretaría de Información Pública, el Ministerio del Interior y la Dirección General de Informaciones de la provincia de Santa Fe durante la última dictadura militar argentina (1976-1983)

This paper is based on recently "found" documents produced by agencies in charge of cultural control such as the Dirección General de Informaciones of the province of Santa Fe. It proposes a progress in the subject of study as it reveals, on the one hand, the tensions between national and local governments and shows, on the other, the circulation of directives (political-cultural guidelines) oriented to recover the moral principles and traditions. Above all we noticed the classification of crimes, the differentiation between sexual scenes, and the persecution of "subversive immoralities" that should be eliminated from the new dictatorial order.

And they were less focused on explore the strategies of cultural censorship
