  • The Topology of Queerness and Jewishness in Buenos Aires
    Kagawa University Economic Review Vol.89,No.3, December2016,187－215 The Topology of Queerness and Jewishness in Buenos Aires ―― From “Silent Exile” to “Home” ―― Mitsuko Kawabata 1.Introduction This paper explores the relationship between Jewishness and queerness and its influence on the socio-political landscape of Buenos Aires, Argentina. On July 21, 2010, Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner signed a bill to legalize same sex marriage, which was published the very next day. This event garnered both local and international attention due to the fact that it made Argentina the first country to officially recognize gay marriage in Latin America（Díez 2011, 13; Encarnación 2011, 104）. A month later, the Jewish queer organization JAG （also means “celebration” in Hebrew ”חג“ Judios Argentinos Gay ; “Chag” or） released the first Argentine film dealing with queerness and Jewishness, “Otro entre Otros,”（Other among Others）directed by one of JAG’s members, Maximiliano Pelosi（Sztajnszrajber, 2010）. Although JAG seemed to cease its social activities less than a year after the release of the film（Michanie 2013）, its activities have been revitalized since late 2013, when the young charismatic Reform rabbi, Sergio Bergman, became a deputy of the city legislature. In order to illuminate the topology of two identities－Jewish and queer－in Buenos Aires society, I examine the existing literature on Jewish and Argentine queerness and thus present a parallel history of both groups. Drawing on interviews with two figures who were involved with major Argentine queer organizations（JAG and another group called Keshet －188－ Kagawa University Economic Review 596 Argentina）, I consider the meaning of Jewish-queer in the discourse of “diversity” promoted by the city.

  • Anti-Semitism, Anti-Zionism and Israeli- Palestinian Conflict from 2000 to 2014: Some Visions from Latin American Southern Cone
    TRAMES, 2015, 19(69/64), 3, 289–307 ANTI-SEMITISM, ANTI-ZIONISM AND ISRAELI- PALESTINIAN CONFLICT FROM 2000 TO 2014: SOME VISIONS FROM LATIN AMERICAN SOUTHERN CONE Isaac Caro Universidad Alberto Hurtado/Universidad Arturo Prat Abstract. In this article are examined Semitism and anti-Zionism in the period since September 2000 (start of second intifada) to August 2014 (end of intervention by Israel in Gaza), considering a theoretical and a conceptual framework regarding these terms. Then we analyse the global context of this phenomenon and finally study the cases of Argentina and Chile. The growth of groups, movements and political parties of the extreme right, the economic crisis, the emergence of a discourse from the radical left, are factors that, to a lesser or greater extent, contribute to this phenomenon of intolerance towards the Jewish world. Also the conflict that Israel maintains with Palestine is a substantial source of biases against Jews and Israel. Latin America in general and Argentina and Chile, in particular, are no strangers to this problem. Keywords: anti-Semitism, Israel, Judaism, Chile, Argentina, Zionism DOI: 10.3176/tr.2015.2.05 1. Introduction The aim of this paper is to examine anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism in the period from September 2000 to August 2014, considering some insights from the southern Latin American Cone. It is assumed that the increase of both forms of intolerance are largely related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, whose important milestones are September of 2000, with the start of the Second Intifada; March and April of 2002, when Israel went on a military offensive in the West Bank; and the three operations carried out by Israel in Gaza: “Cast Lead” in December 2008 and January 2009; “Defensive Pillar” in November 2012; and finally “Wall Protector” in July and August 2014.

  • Institute for Sefardi and Anousim Studies Academic Research
    Institute for Sefardi and Anousim Studies SUMMARY OF ACTIVITY - 2017 Academic Research ISAS Head Prof. Avi Gross attended meetings in Lisbon and Madrid in April to discuss a digitization project of the Inquisition genealogical files and documents in the Archivo Histórico Nacional (Madrid) and the Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo (Lisbon). While he was there, Avi conducted the first night Seder in the Belmonte synagogue, Beit Eliahu. In October, Prof. Gross attended the inaugural meeting on the proposed project to preserve Jewish heritage in the Trás-os-Montes region in northern Portugal. Area municipalities, most notably from the town of Chaves, will be applying to the European Union for funding to identify and preserve Jewish and crypto-Jewish artifacts, texts, customs, and traditions of Anousim in the region. The ISAS would play a role in the academic planning and supervision of the project. The ISAS is working in conjunction with communal entities in Brazil and public entities in Israel on a Mapping Project of Bnei Anousim communities in Brazil. The initial data collection phase of this groundbreaking and far-reaching project includes: identifying and contacting the communities; collecting information; and partnering with Israel’s Ministry of the Diaspora and Jewish Agency, as well as with the CONIB (Federation of Jewish Communities in Brazil), who expressed interest in the project. 1 Genealogical Research The ISAS conducts genealogical research throughout the year. Our chief researcher, Dr. Abraham Garcia Torres, prepares two types of reports: Basic Genealogical Research Report: For applicants who wish to determine if they have Anousim/Sefardi ancestors. Report of Sefardi Origin: The Federation of the Jewish Communities in Spain (Madrid) and the Jewish Community in Lisbon, Portugal have authorized the ISAS to prepare reports certifying Sefardi origin in order to qualify for their respective Certificates of Sefardi origin to satisfy requirements for citizenship stipulated by the new laws enacted in both countries.
