This article analyzes some relations between social identifications and Peronism, present in the current literature about this political force. The proposed path has its central theme in the polemics about the relevance of internal migrants in the Peronist vote. I argue that it is possible to reorient research on "political sociability" with the Fernand Benoit concept of "regional temperaments". In this article, the term serves as a synthesis aimed to rethink issues related to the "interior", to different subaltern groups and to racialized conflicts in modern Argentina. Departing from a definition of "political sociability”, the article moves towards the discussion of new approaches. These could allow us to escape from versions that establish a strong relation between sociability, collective dispositions and political behavior.
