Resumen
Este artículo se propone analizar la propuesta cultural de los Círculos Católicos de Obreros, creados a fines del siglo XIX en la Argentina por el sacerdote redentorista de origen alemán Federico Grote. Si bien su propósito inicial se fundaba en lo político y lo social, los Círculos también incursionaron en el orden cultural, al igual que las formaciones socialistas y anarquistas desarrolladas durante los mismos años. Para ello, se eligió una estructura que retomaba el mutualismo de las asociaciones étnicas y la acción social y cultural de las parroquias. La finalidad de los Círculos era brindar al obrero y a su familia una asistencia que abarcaba desde la salud y la educación hasta el entretenimiento, siempre dentro del marco de los lineamientos morales implementados por el catolicismo. Entre las actividades educativas y recreativas, el arte y el deporte tuvieron roles centrales. Aunque la primera sede de los Círculos estuvo ubicada en Buenos Aires, la presencia de esta formación de índole política y cultural se multiplicó rápidamente por todo el país.
This article analyzes the cultural proposal of the Catholic Workers’ Circles, which were created in the late 19th century in Argentina by Redemptorist German priest Federico Grote. Although their initial purpose was based on the political and social spheres, the Circles also addressed matters related to cultural life, as did the socialist and anarchist groups formed during those same years. To that end, they chose a structure that returned to the mutualism of the ethnic and social and cultural action associations of parish churches. The purpose of the Circles was to provide the worker and his family with assistance that ranged from healthcare and education to entertainment, always within the moral guidelines provided by Catholicism. Art and sports played key roles in educational and recreational activities. The first headquarters of the Circles were located in Buenos Aires, but the presence of this political and cultural organization rapidly spread throughout the country.
