Between the rise to power of Nazism in Germany until the end of the Second World War; over 100 musicians went into exile in Argentina. Guillermo Graetzer was one of these musicians. In this paper, I analyze some of the lesser-known aspects of his life, those absent in most biographies, focusing on his dual status as a Jew and an exile, as well as his inclusion in the cultural field of Argentina in the early 1940s. I focus on the professional dynamics that Graetzer established with musicians from the distinct musical circuits of Berlin. Vienna, and Buenos Aires. The analysis ranges from his formative years as a musician in Europe until the creation of Collegium Musicum in 1946. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper is devoted to the analysis of identity experiences among social actors that belong to the Argentinean section of the Jewish-orthodox movement Habad Lubavitch. In order to reach this objective, the author has constructed a typology of identity experiences dimensions: institutional, communitarian-cultural and spiritual. This typology makes it possible to analyze the making of the religious territory and the relationships between nucleus and peripheries. The paper analyze how identity-making processes are based in centralization and peripherization strategies related with this dimensions. Finally, localization and universalization processes in the identity-making strategies are analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider different perspectives on Chilean and Argentinean Judaism, related to four main traits: a) the organization of Jewish and secular identities, with progressive and liberal components, although religion is not the central identity element; b) the consolidation of a religious orthodox space; c) the formation of new Jewish identities, that are not integrated into the structures of institutional Jewish communities; e) the emergence of some dissidence in Chilean and Argentinean Judaism, as part and parcel of a reaction to the official discourse about the Arab-Israeli Conflict.
