Cultural Week of Jujuy (Organizer)

This record presents the transcription and archival preservation of an official institutional certificate issued on March 22, 1988, by the Secretary of Education and Culture of the Province of Jujuy, Argentina, Prof. Luis Alberto Ramoneda, who at the time held the highest cultural authority within the provincial government, prior to the existence of a formal Ministry of Culture.

The document certifies the participation of Professor María Cristina Verónica Pereyra in the organization of the Semana Cultural de Jujuy, a provincial cultural initiative coordinated by key public institutions, including the Secretariat of Education and Culture, the Secretariat of Tourism, and the Secretariat of Public Information of the Government of Jujuy.

From a communication and cultural studies perspective, this document functions as a primary source of state-level cultural communication, issued by the highest provincial cultural authority of the period. It reflects the institutional articulation of public communication, cultural policy, and administrative cultural production in late 1980s Argentina.

The certificate is significant for understanding how cultural authority was institutionally exercised through communication practices prior to the formalization of ministerial cultural structures, highlighting the role of the Secretary of Culture as a central actor in the production and legitimation of cultural events as state communication.

As an archival document, it contributes to the study of communication and cultural policies, institutional cultural mediation, and public sector cultural management, while also serving as evidence of professional participation in state-organized cultural programming.

The transcription preserves the original orthographic and typographical features of the source document, ensuring fidelity to the archival record.

Note: Two digital versions of the certificate are provided: (1) a minimally processed scan preserving the material condition of the original document, and (2) a contrast-enhanced version aimed at improving textual legibility. No alterations were made to the content of the document.
