I no longer remember who exactly was there: Saúl Sosnowski and Pablo Urbanyi, for sure. Evelyn Picon Garfield and Marta Paley de Francescato, I’m pretty certain. What was notable about that moment was that being Jewish had nothing to do with why we were at that particular conference. For most of us, beyond our professional interests as writers and academics, another identity issue was part of what brought us there as literary scholars, women, and/or as Latin Americans. But the realization that all of us in that room were Jewish made a momen- tary difference, a sense of another, unexpected, kind of belonging. And of course, by no means all the Argentines at the conference were Jewish— Marta Lynch was there, as were Griselda Gambaro, Alicia Jurado, Elvira Orfée, Luisa Valenzuela, and her mother, María Luisa Levinson. To my recollection, no one presented a paper dealing with Jewishness in Ottawa. The Latin American Jewish Studies Association—LAJSA—would not be established for another four years, and feminist studies generally paid little attention to the fact of Jewishness within feminist activism or scholarship. What was perhaps the earliest lesbian-feminist Jewish anthology, Nice Jewish Girls, would be published in the US in 1982, coinciding with the founding of LAJSA. Jewishness was beside the point yet somehow meaningful for those in that room in Ottawa. My own interest in Jewishness as an area of scholarly investigation was decades in the future, a result of my bumping into Jewish-themed texts and Jewish-named writers, filmmakers, and visual artists in my research and teaching, until it seemed inevitable that I pay attention. The present book is the outcome of this slow gestation. xi xii PREFACE The Other/Argentina is deeply indebted to the growing body of research on gender, sexuality, and the modern nation, especially in relation to the field of Jewish studies in the United States and Europe. At the same time, it has been my intention to push the boundaries of that research, turning its gaze southward. Jewish studies in the US approaches the question of modernity largely by considering the triangle Europe–the United States–Israel, taking little note of Jewish communities and the way Jewishness means in other parts of the world. For its part, the impressive body of research in Latin American Jewish studies has barely been acknowledged by the US-based scholarly community. Conversely, the development of Jewish cultural studies, which has been revolutionizing Jewish studies in the United States over the past few decades, has thus far had little purchase in Latin America. By limiting this study to Argentina, I open up some avenues and close off others. Jews are a minority in Argentina, but of all the countries of Latin America, Argentina has historically had the largest number, and proportion, of Jews in its population. Hence this book’s focus on Jewish- ness in relation to Argentine self-fashioning, with regard to the position of Jews as simultaneously exemplary of, and the abjected other to, European modernity, and in the context of Argentina’s own claim on a European identity in the face of Europe’s refusal to accept any Latin American nation as its full equal. Argentina’s Jewish history is certainly connected to that of other Latin American countries: many Jews leaving Europe or the Middle East who wound up in Latin America were hoping to get to the United States and landed instead in “the other America,” sometimes Mexico or the Caribbean, Venezuela, Brazil, or Uruguay, and often Argentina. For the most part they reproduced a version of life in the old country in their new places of residence—they built synagogues and formed burial societies, created community centers, learned a new language but did not forget Yiddish and Hebrew, and held on to old rituals as well as to a sense of connectedness with Jews beyond their borders. Nevertheless, Jewish history in Argentina is distinguished by at least three factors: (1) the deliberate creation, by a German Jewish philanthropist, of Jewish settlements designed to create a Jewish homeland far away from the perils of Europe; (2) the immigration policies of postindependence Argentina that, in its desire to bring Europeans to settle, eventually expanded the list of the invited to include Jews; and (3) the Argentine elites’ belief in their own difference from the rest of Latin America—that theirs is a modern European nation, with all the attending baggage surrounding Jews as both a part of and apart from whatever it is that constitutes Europe and modernity. These three intersecting phenomena PREFACE xiii suggest that Jewish ethnicity signifies somewhat differently in Argentina than it does in other parts of the continent. Still, the very idea of Jewish modernity, even in its least nuanced form, challenges the Catholic Latin America to which Argentina belongs. In that worldview, Jews represent an intensely premodern cultural landscape thankfully superseded by Christian enlightenment.1 Deeply held prejudices against Jews mark the Argentine cultural imaginary. Jewish and Gentile writers alike make use of the competing cultural, and deeply gendered, myths of Jews as an ancient people and as prototypical of modernity. The Jew is a complex marker: Luisa Valenzuela’s liminal Israeli translator who scales walls and is unfazed by locked doors and windows in her 2010 novel El Mañana (The Mañana) vexes all borders and commonplaces. Erin Graff Zivin, recalling that the wandering Jew is a Christian trope, calls Jewishness “the wandering signifier.” My exploration of the traces of Jewishness in texts that may not be explicitly specific to Jews does not aim to excavate some essential Jewish nugget buried in Argentine soil, but rather to understand the different meanings that Jewishness carries in Argentina, and how sexuality and gender, as both lived experience and ideology, help code such meanings. Because gender, imbricated with sexuality, is an organizing principle of identity, it is inescapable as an effect of cultural texts, and it is a crucial category of analysis in teasing out the ways the Jewish presence in Argentina has affected that country’s effort to establish itself as a modern nation.

The fear of such “substate conflict contagion” is frequently invoked by American policymakers as a justification for military intervention in ongoing substate conflicts — the argument these policymakers often make is that conflicts left uncontained now will spread and become a more pertinent security threat later. My State Action Explanation is that substate conflict contagion is not the sole product of nonstate factors such as transnational rebel networks and arms flows, nor of the structural factors such as poverty that make internal conflict more likely in general.

  • Instrumentalising the Past: the Germanic Myth in National Socialist Context
    RJHI 1 (1) 2014 Instrumentalising the Past: The Germanic Myth in National Socialist Context Irina-Maria Manea * Abstract : In the search for an explanatory model for the present or even more, for a fundament for national identity, many old traditions were rediscovered and reutilized according to contemporary desires. In the case of Germany, a forever politically fragmented space, justifying unity was all the more important, especially beginning with the 19 th century when it had a real chance to establish itself as a state. Then, beyond nationalism and romanticism, at the dawn of the Third Reich, the myth of a unified, powerful, pure people with a tradition dating since time immemorial became almost a rule in an ideology that attempted to go back to the past and select those elements which could have ensured a historical basis for the regime. In this study, we will attempt to focus on two important aspects of this type of instrumentalisation. The focus of the discussion is mainly Tacitus’ Germania, a work which has been forever invoked in all sorts of contexts as a means to discover the ancient Germans and create a link to the modern ones, but in the same time the main beliefs in the realm of history and archaeology are underlined, so as to catch a better glimpse of how the regime has been instrumentalising and overinterpreting highly controversial facts. Keywords : Tacitus, Germania, myth, National Socialism, Germany, Kossinna, cultural-historical archaeology, ideology, totalitarianism, falsifying history During the twentieth century, Tacitus’ famous work Germania was massively instrumentalised by the Nazi regime, in order to strengthen nationalism and help Germany gain an aura of eternal glory.

  • Medios, Dictadura Y Democracia
    Medios, Dictadura y Democracia Secretaría de Derechos Humanos Medios, dictadura y democracia Introducción Analizar el discurso de los medios de comunicación en la dictadura, es una tarea ardua que no se agota en el simple raconto de que se decía en ese momento, cual fue su rol en el esquema de poder de la época o cual fue la actitud para con las víctimas de la represión. El verdadero análisis, a 34 años del golpe, es analizar que discursos son los que continúan, cuáles son los actores sociales que todavía establecen esos discursos y como era el esquema de poder mediático en la época anterior al proceso militar y cual fue el esquema posterior a los militares en el poder. El análisis del discurso no busca juzgar hechos, sino reconocer marcas que nos lleven a una aproximación a la realidad. El estudio de las tapas de los diarios es muy útil a la hora de bucear las posiciones de los medios. Se entiende que la tapa del diario la lee mucha mas gente que el consumidor real del diario, pues una tapa está en la mano del canillita o en el propio kiosco, y las personas que pasan por allí la consumen con una mirada. Mientras mas grande sea la letra del título, mas fácil se lee en un golpe de vista. Si las tapas de los diarios (y sobre todo en esa época, donde el desarrollo de los medios electrónicos no tenía ni por asomo el de hoy) eran coincidentes en el mensaje, la construcción del sentido común era relativamente simple.
