This article addresses the ways through which the conceptual changes
can be studied. Specifically, it recovers the distinction between the diachronic and synchronic viewpoints in order to problematize the alleged conceptual change that Peron introduced in the Argentine political language around the middle of the 20th century. Facing that argument, this article postulates that the alleged change in the concept of democracy didn’t existed; it suggests instead that there was a dislocation of the space of experience, which determined the capabilities and qualities of enunciation in that context. In this sense, this article asserts that
during the years of the first Peronism, a semantic dispute took place around the legitimacy to talk about democracy and, by doing that, it shows the importance of the aforementioned dispute to think the relationship between the diachronic and synchronic viewpoints.
