The present paper analyses the political uses of religion after the Sovietization of Armenian Republic and the first years of the Cold War until the death of Stalin in 1953 focusing in the Armenian community of Argentina. The interest of this community lies in its scarce visibility despite its relevance in the Western Diaspora -- after the Armenian communities of France and the United States --, taking into account its number and the relevance of its institutional life from their creation to the present as well as its close link with the Republic of Armenia. The article focuses on the Armenian Apostolic Church as the axis of tensions between the diaspora and Armenia as well as within the diverse Armenian communities. We concentrate on the Armenian community in Argentina and the links of this community with Soviet Armenia during the Cold War, sometimes with fruitful exchanges, in others, tense including the relation with the Argentine State from the moment of the resumption of diplomatic relations with the ex USSR.

Masculinity and domesticity are often thought of as notions in tension. In Argentina, during the middle decades of the twentieth century, they were mingled in a model of domesticity sustained in a ‘democratisation’ of well-being, home ownership and free time. This association relied on the inclusion of new technologies and activities within the home, related to hobbies, do-it-yourself and home improvement projects, which were regarded as signs of family respectability. On the basis of forty-five life stories and establishing a counterpoint through the representations that can be traced in popular magazines from the period, this article analyses the objects, tasks and spaces considered ‘masculine’ within the domestic space. The article presents the most relevant features of the model of domesticity that favoured men’s presence at home, highlighting the ideal of togetherness on which it was based. Then, it explores the contrast between domestic tasks, objects and spaces designed for men and women, emphasising the tensions to which men’s presence at home gave rise. Finally, it analyses masculine ways of being at home while avoiding family life. As the article shows, ‘masculine’ domestic objects and spaces played a significant role in confirming one’s status in a scenario of intense social mobility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article examines the interaction between Argentine political, scientific, and social entities that permitted the recognition of Chagas' disease as endemic in Argentina during the early 20th century, particularly the relationship between Argentine public health agenda changes and Argentine national identity. It discusses the significance of Argentine physician Salvador Mazza, the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, and the Argentine agency the National Department of Hygiene (DNH). According to the article, Chagas' disease was discovered by Brazilian physician Carlos Chagas in 1909.

ABSTRACT Between 1996 and 2009, a process of struggle for and (after 2002) partial achievement of the second incorporation of the popular sectors took place in Argentina. This process involved a combination of routine and contentious political dynamics that reformulated state-society relations in the postcorporatist period. As a continuation of the first incorporation (1943-55), the second incorporation displayed some similar features; other attributes were specific to this second process, mainly that it was not corporatist but territorial and that the central agents of transformation were not trade unions but the disincorporated popular sectors, which were territorially organized into a 'reincorporation movement.' This article conceptualizes these dynamics and analyzes the role played by the main political actor related to this historical process, the piquetero (picketer) movement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
