This article proposes to review the categories through which the study of the relationship between national identities and football was founded in Latin America, especially those of "public arena", inspired by the work of Clifford Geertz, and that of "free zones" of a culture, introduced by the Argentine anthropologist Eduardo Archetti to investigate the foundation of a "popular sporting nationalism" in the early twentieth century. To this end, it examines the ways in which Argentina's recent victory in the Qatar 2022 World Cup was narrated in television accounts and in the experience of fans, as well as the vicissitudes of its (impossible) political capture. Finally, the paper explores the shift from political hero to post-political hero: the narrative games that make the passage from Maradona to Messi possible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay aims to shed light on two works by writer Andrés Neuman, Una vez Argentina, published in 2003, and El viajero del siglo, published in 2009, based on two important theoretical issues for contemporary comparative studies, namely the idea of literature as expanded field and the debates about the concept of Weltliteratur. In this sense, I seek to observe, in the referred narratives of the Spanish-Argentine author, how the conceptions of national identity and literature break with binary oppositions constructed between what is own and what is alien, from an expanded field perspective.

The article discusses social psychology concerning nationalism in Argentina in the 1930s. Several essays on nationalism were produced as a result of disruption caused by the exhaustion of positivism as a paradigm among the cultural elites in Argentina. The disruption caused by the national political crisis that resulted in the 1930 coup d’état along with the crisis of spirit of the liberal order and of capitalism in Europe resulted in a state of intellectual discontent in Argentina. This disruption stimulated a revision of liberal Argentina.

During the peek of the First Cold War and its transfer to the region due to the rupture of Washington with Havana, the control mechanisms of the intelligence agencies were sharpened. They pursued mainly possible communist outbreaks in the country. In this context, this article aims to analyze the representations of the Dirección de Inteligencia de la Policía de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (DIPBA) and of the Secretaría de Inteligencia de Estado (SIDE) on the Tacuara right-winged nationalist youth groups, these groups, that emerged after the fall of the Peronism in 1955, had caught the public eye because of their violent political pranticommunist, anti-liberal and anti-Semitic practices, considering that this demonstrates the degree of penetration of the objectives of the Cold War in the practices of control and security and in the reports of these agencies.

The article investigates the connections between the higher education reformation and the aesthetic avant-garde movement of the twenties in Argentina. It chooses to analyze the "Martin Fierro" magazine showing that in between the magazine's cosmopolitan vocation and the search for a new cultural nationalism one can recognize a particular statement of the topic of Americanism. "Martin Fierro," one of the main magazines of the Argentine vanguards in the years of 1920, converted the Argentine intellectual field into the scene of a form of typically modern rupture. The author intends to show here a perspective capable to unite the cosmopolitan affirmation and the search of a new cultural nationalism to the Americanism topic so reiterated in the magazine. The magazine "Martin Fierro" does not count on a national type, on Argentine sensitivity or mentality, or on indigenous culture affirmed by the tradition, nor either, in the generality, its integrant ones if had shown made use of those products of the popular culture.
