Transformations in readings and use of the theory of Piaget in Argentina in the 1970s are presented, and how they collected social important problems of their time. First, we present the work of Emilia Ferreiro, his educational background and the research that led to the publication of the book Literacy before schooling (Ferreiro & Teberosky, 1979). Then we highlight the innovations that that text introduced: a novel reading of Piaget's theory in the academic media of Argentina; the qualification of genetic psychology concepts in a new field; an empirical research process from the Piagetian method; To place the problem of access to literacy and its relation to school failure, involving aspects that until then have been invisible, such as poverty and social inequality in Latin America. Finally we expose the vicissitudes of the reception in Argentina, were they appeared the marks of the military dictatorship, such as exile, censorship and clandestinity; the encounter with Ferreiro's text shows one side of the persecution exerted on the intellectuals and clandestine forms of circulation of knowledge that a professional generation had to face.

Palabras clave : Piaget; literacy; Ferreiro; dictatorship; Argentina.
