Abstract
Description
En este artículo se analizan los proyectos de Juan Canals para la construcción de la sección norte y sur del puerto de la ciudad de Rosario. Para ello estudiaremos las estrategias económicas y relacionales que Canals desarrolló para llevar a cabo sus propuestas y las causas de su fracaso. Nuestro principal objetivo es – a partir del estudio del presente caso- delinear las características que presentó el empresariado de la construcción en la Argentina durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Creemos que nuestro principal aporte será avanzar en la investigación sobre este tipo de empresariado, que ha sido poco explorado por la historiografía nacional.
In this article we analyze Juan Canals’s projects for the building of Rosario’s port north and south areas. We will study the economic and relational strategies that Canals developed to carry on his proposals. We will also look on the causes of this failure. Our main objective is – from the study of this case- outlining the characteristics that had the building business in Argentina during the second half of the 19th century. We believe that our main contribution will be to progress on the research about this kind of business, not very explored in national historiography.
