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.

This article analyzes the funerals organized by the Argentine National State from 1906 to 1914. These funerals were considered as rites of passage and as public feasts through which the regime honored their great men as well as their own merits. This paper deals with the peculiar characteristics of each funeral, although it lays emphasis on their common features and particularly on grasping the similar political message given by the State. It looks at the pedagogic role that the government elites attributed to these funerals for the sake of order, civic mindedness and republican austerity. State funerals also made way for public and sometimes private work related to memory and posthumous celebration. The last section of the article speculates about the possible reasons why the bodies of these "great men", acclaimed by the State and by a significant part of the population at the time of their death, do not enjoy cult status or are objects of deliberate manipulations neither in the 20th century nor at present.

This paper explores the activities that took place in the frame of the "Civic Action Plan" of the National Gendarmerie, in particular focusing on the creation and development of the "Gendarmería Infantil". We hold that the plan aimed at integrating and improving the image of the Gendarmerie in the society, and that the experience of the Gendarmería Infantil was an attempt to influence on the socialization of children and youth by a sector of the military regime. The intention of influencing the education of youth and boys can be seen in the establishment of ties between them and security forces socialization values of these forces and participation in ceremonies strongly associated with its principles.

During last years as much in the frame of the celebration of the 100 years public festivities of both most important cities located in the Gulf San Jorge basin (Comodoro Rivadavia and Caleta Olivia) as in the most recent commemoration of the centenary of the discovery of the oil in the zone, women appropriated diverse uses of the past to ask for the right to have a past. Beyond the public festivities which were arranged from the official sphere, the petroleum companies or the mass media, an important group of women organized different commemoration practices; the publication of books and photographic samples stood out among them. It has allowed a fruitful exchange among people who are in the academy and out of it. In the paper I try to show that this memoralist outbreak in terms of gender, having revalued topics such as the child-rearing, the family care, the informal sociability puts the emphasis on the domesticity and the exaltation of the kinship networks to emphasize the rol of women in that past. As the cult of motherhood represented social inclusion for these women, in this work I suggest that it is again the articulation of women - maternity - family - history - nation what returns to center stage, but those who promote such social commemoration practices have created places of memory in the center of the sphere of production: places where the men had dominated historically.

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]

From the early diffusion of Freud's ideas to the development and institutionalization of the Lacanian movement, the Argentine and Spanish psychoanalytic histories have had repeated points of contact. In fact, almost all stages of the Spanish analytical sphere have been shaped by the presence of an 'Argentine element'. This article aims to explore the history of these encounters between the Spanish and Argentine psychoanalytic worlds. Following the chronology of events, it focuses on the different aspects of this history and shows how the causes, the nature and the consequences of the exchanges evolved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article examines the shift in the Argentine economy from an emphasis on the exportation of raw materials to a focus on domestic markets, including the beginning of import substitution during the period from 1900 to 1935. It explains that during this period, the Argentine state increased in terms of size and number of functions. The article analyzes Argentine public investment in railway and sanitation projects, which resulted in the creation of the first Argentine public enterprises, in particular. It also discusses aspects of public finance, including the structure and evolution of the tax collection regime, a necessary means of extracting financial resources necessary to support public investment projects.
