This paper looks at the existence of a radical culture in Argentina, outside the main urban centers. Especially we study two cities: San Francisco and Río Cuarto in Córdoba province, in the 1930s and 1940s. The use of Oral History helps us discover a rich world unknown to us. Analyzing a series of interviews to workers, intellectuals and political militants, we found a new conception of politics, culture and militancy. Most of interviewees tend to explain their politicization as natural derivation of their life experience rather than as what we perceive as a traditional process of politicization.
