La óptica transnacional en estudios latinoamericanos
Este dossier refleja al menos parcialmente la ampliación del uso de perspectivas transnacionales en los estudios sobre América Latina. Mientras por largo tiempo, quienes estudiaban redes de intelectuales latinoamericanos, movimientos sociales o bien el exilio político y la migración interregional, no pudieron ignorar el impacto transfronterizo de estos fenómenos, la adopción explícita de perspectivas transnacionales es más reciente, habiendo cobr…
Populism, conflict and war
This article aims to contribute to a growing domain of research linking domestic and international aspects of populism. Stressing leadership performance and communicative style as key to defining populism, it discusses several aspects that turn populist leaderships into riskier for the international global order, among them populism’s antagonistic character, emotional tonality and personalistic concentration of decision-making. The article analyz…
El giro transnacional en estudios latinoamericanos. Una hoja de ruta
El presente artículo subraya la relevancia de integrar enfoques transnacionales en la investigación sobre estudios latinoamericanos. Propone reconocer el impacto de fuerzas y procesos que trascienden fronteras, los cuales han moldeado históricamente a las sociedades de la región más allá de sus contextos locales. Este enfoque transnacional no solo posibilita el análisis de las diversas realidades estatales desde una perspectiva país por país o me…
Argentina's Dictatorship and the Post-Dictatorial Policies of Transitional Justice
This article aims to assess the impact of the 1976–83 dictatorship on the lifeworld of Argentine citizens, as reflected in testimonies and allegations during the oral phase of the 1985 trial of the military commanders responsible for masterminding policies of massive detention, torture and loss of life of thousands in Argentina. The text addresses the sequence of democratic breakdown, military rule, regime collapse and the transition to democracy…

Applying Transnational Perspectives in Latin American Studies
This article advocates incorporating transnational perspectives in Latin American Studies research. It suggests that studying Latin American dynamics over the long run means considering the impact of transnational forces and processes that since political independence have linked Latin American societies beyond their particularity. Recognizing the transnational dimensions of their historical development, we may avoid falling into the error of ass…
Raanan Rein, Cachiporras contra Tacuara. Grupos de autodefensa judíos en América del Sur, 1960-1975
El libro analiza la formación de marcos de autodefensa judía, principalmente en Argentina y Uruguay, con menciones de paso sobre Chile, México y Venezuela, desde la captura de Adolf Eichmann en Argentina hasta el derrumbe democrático de mediados de los ‘1970s. Raanan Rein reconstruye los pormenores de la autodefensa judía en base a entrevistas personales con varias decenas de ex militantes, funcionarios jerárquicos de la Agencia Judía, diplomátic…
Exile, Transnational Life, Return, and Diasporas
This article analyzes the experience of massive exile during the last wave of dictatorships in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay, and particularly the process of partial return to the home countries. Given the dramatic and unparalleled institutional breakdown that affected these societies, each in different ways and at varying degrees, the text addresses what limits, difficulties, or shortcomings the former exiles encountered upon their ret…

Why the Normative of Human Rights is Still Contested in the Twenty-First Century
This article honoring Gerhard Preyer addresses the debates and sources of resistance to the normative of human rights despite its seemingly global and legal anchoring. It tackles the riddle of why such normative is still contested and attacked on multiple fronts in the 21st century. I start from the basics, by defining human rights and reviewing some of the historical landmarks and different analytical viewpoints that have been suggested on their…
Shifting Patterns of Antisemitism in Latin America
This article analyzes several patterns of antisemitism in twentieth-century Latin America. It identifies historical moments when carriers of social and political ideas projected negative images of Jews, sometimes pushing anti-Jewish policies and at times leading violent actions against Jews. Thus, antisemitism served to mobilize in defense of national identity; as a reaction to Jewish peddlers perceived as a threat to national economies; as a bas…

Conspiracy Theories and Latin American History
This book is a systematic inquiry of conspiracy theories across Latin America. Conspiracy theories project not only an interpretive logic of reality that leads people to believe in sinister machinations, but also imply a theory of power that requires mobilizing and taking action. Through history, many have fallen for the allure of conspiratorial narratives, even the most unsubstantiated and bizarre. This book traces the main conspiracy theories d…
Contesting Liberal Citizenship
Political and social research on populism has discussed its development in the framework of modern constitutional democracies. Populism thrives as ‘parasitic’ to those democracies by addressing their unfulfilled promises. Citizens’ loss of trust in the system opens the way for varied forms of ‘populist ruptures’, facilitating the construction of the category of ‘the people’, through which leaders and their followings claim to stand for all citize…

Paraguay, exilio masivo y retorno selectivo
La larga dictadura de Alfredo Stroessner (1954-1989) generó un éxodo sostenido de paraguayos que huyeron de su país y se sumaron a las comunidades de la diáspora ya existentes desde el siglo XIX, particularmente en la Argentina. Este artículo, basado en parte en una investigación sobre exilio, diáspora y retorno en el Cono Sur que incluye el caso paraguayo y que publicará Eudeba, la Editorial Universitaria de Buenos Aires, intenta aproximarse al …

Institutionalized Inequalities, the Structure of Trust, and Clientelism in Modern Latin America
This chapter addresses a central concern for the study of civilizations that of cultural-structural continuities in processes of change, to which S. N. Eisenstadt&s;s comprehensive approach has contributed significantly. Specifically, it focuses on the interplay of the structure of inequalities and of trust in connection with the persistence of patron-client relations in Latin America.Patron-client relations are particularistic, hierarchical, and…
The Logic of Conspiracy Thought
This article analyzes the logic of conspiracy theories, stressing that it would be erroneous to assume that such theories about collusions and intrigues are irrational in nature. On the contrary, they operate on a logic that is no less coherent than scientific discourse, although it differs from the latter in its verification and discard methodology as well as in its mobilizing role. Being part of a larger research that explains the recurrent spr…
América Latina tras bambalinas
Este libro reflexiona desde las ciencias sociales, la historia social y la historia de las ideas acerca de la amplia presencia de narrativas conspirativas en América Latina. Los autores distinguen entre la existencia de complots —algunos exitosos, otros fracasados— de otro fenómeno paralelo: las teorías conspirativas que interpretan el mundo como objeto de siniestras maquinaciones e intrigas clandestinas. Se trata de una lógica epistemológica, cu…
Transnational Identity Politics in the Americas
This article suggests that transnational motives have remained key components of legitimation strategies for regional realignment in Latin America. Specifically, we assess the legitimation strategy of the late Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez and the associated political movement, Chavismo, as a recent case of transnational identity politics. Studies of Chavismo have stressed its role in the changing balance of power in early twenty-first-century…
Fuel for Conspiracy
Conspiracy discourse interprets the world as the object of sinister machinations, rife with opaque plots and covert actors. With this frame, the war between Bolivia and Paraguay over the Northern Chaco region (1932–1935) emerges as a paradigmatic conflict that many in the Americas interpreted as resulting from the conspiracy manoeuvres of foreign oil interests to grab land supposedly rich in oil. At the heart of such interpretation, projected by …
The Western Sephardic Diaspora
This essay reviews the following works:Jews and Jewish Identities in Latin America: Historical, Cultural, and Literary Perspectives. Edited by Margalit Bejarano, Yaron Harel, Marta Topel, and Margalit Yosifon. Brighton: Academic Studies Press, 2017. Pp. xiv + 411. 29.95 paperback. ISBN: 9781588712769
Conspirationism, Synarchism and the long shadow of Perón in Argentina
This article analyses the dissemination of conspiracy theories in late 20th-century Argentina, particularly those connected with the idea of Synarchy, a supposed underground global network working against the country’s interests. It reconstructs the projection and impact of those theories among Peronist right-wing and left-wing followers as well as among anti-Peronist intellectuals. While not necessarily anti-Semitic, the suspicion of such a netw…
Patrons, Clients and Friends
The form of social relations described by the terms 'patronage' and 'patron-client relations' is of central concern to sociologists, anthropologists and political scientists today. Characterised by its voluntary and highly personal but often fully institutionalised nature, it is a type of behaviour found in almost every human society. It touches upon basic aspects of the construction and regulation of social order and is therefore closely connect…

Patron-Client Relations as a Model of Structuring Social Exchange
The study of patronage and of patron-client relations has come lately to the fore in anthropology, political science and sociology, and has exerted a great fascination for scholars in these spheres. From a topic of relatively marginal concern it has become a central one, closely connected to basic theoretical problems and controversies in all the social sciences
From pioneer to freier
This study analyzes a major shift in the Israeli discourse of generalized exchange as reflected in key role models and images of social involvement, voluntarism and public good provision. It highlights the progressive decline of the image of the pioneer or 'halutz' and the parallel emergence of the image of the 'freier', a vernacular model of a sucker, as a meta-comment on the pioneer model and on Israeli existence in general (2

Exile Communities and Their Differential Institutional Dynamics
El artículo se concentra en la pluralidad de las experiencias de exilio político tal como se manifiestan en lascomunidades de exiliados chilenos y uruguayos en la segunda mitad del siglo veinte. Enfocándose en lasdinámicas de exilio como la interacción entre el país expulsor, el exiliado(a) y el país anfitrión, el artículoelabora dos fenómenos básicos: primero, el hecho de que los lugares de exilio pueden devenir, a través de lasacciones de los e…
From Argentina to Israel
During the last military dictatorship in Argentina, between 350 and 400 citizens who feared for their life managed to find shelter in Israel. This article traces the evolving procedures, institutional mechanisms and routes of escape operated by the Israeli diplomats and representatives stationed in Argentina and the neighbouring countries, against the contradictory background of lack of clear-cut official policies in Israel, the latter's cordial …
Hierarchy and Trust in Modern Mexico and Brazil
Exílio massivo, inclusão e exclusão política no século XX
Due to the strategies implemented by post-Independence Ibero-American states to curtail political participation, exile was mainly reserved as a privilege for ostracized members of the elite, who drew on their support networks in the process. The late 19th and early 20th centuries witnessed a process of mass exile , expressed by a growing number of exiles from different social classes, excluded due to their participation in politics and public sph…
Cultural prisms, western individualism, and the Israeli case
A major objective of this paper is to analyze the distinctive character of Israeli culture, in spite of current trends towards the globalization of culture. Within the wave of reaction to grand comparative schemes such as Dumont's, it seems that de-constructionist views have been too hasty to discard concern with the cultural dynamics of whole societies. I shall claim that assuming a perspectival view on the complex, open, and changing world of m…
Latin American Jews and Processes of Transnational Legitimization and De‐legitimization
Transnational ties, depending on circumstances, can be either a source of increased pride and social capital or of shame and decreased public presence. This article addresses a major aspect of recent Jewish public presence in Latin America; namely, the axes around which Jewish identification and identities have been affected by the impact of shifting global articulations and international alliances. This work claims that the broader context opera…
Displacement and Testimony
Political Exile in Latin America
Political exile is a major constitutive feature of Latin American politics. It has contributed to the establishment of the rules of the political game on a transnational basis, both before and after the consolidation of states. It is linked to the tension between the hierarchical structure of these societies and the political models that predicated participation, the process of fragmentation and conflictive territorial boundaries, and the evoluti…

El destierro paraguayo
Este artículo es una contribución al estudio del destierro paraguayo, en el marco del creciente interés académico por los estudios de exilio. Como tal, traza los parámetros históricos de uno de los casos menos estudiados de exilio masivo en el siglo xx en las Américas y analiza el caso de Rafael Barrett (1876-1910), una figura importante de las letras paraguayas, su hijo y nietos. Al examinar el caso de la familia Barrett -en la que se identifica…

Paths of Citizenship and the Legacy of Human Rights Violations
Through a comparison of redemocratized Argentina and Uruguay, this article shows how distinct historical paths of citizenship affect the strategies and practices enacted in different political communities. The analysis focuses on the societal confrontation with the legacy of human rights violations as the new democratic governments attempted to balance normative principles with political contingencies. Embedded in their particular paths of citize…
Coronelismo, Caciquismo, and Oyabun-Kobun Bonds
The present study analyses the character of hierarchical relations of personal dependence in Brazil, Mexico, andJapan, in an attempt to reveal their differences and implications, and, indirectly, to explain the lack of recourse to such relationships for purposes of modernization in the Latin American settings, in contradistinction toJapan. The detailed analysis shows that whereas in Japan hierarchical personalized trust contributed to societal tr…
Modern patron-client relations and historical clientelism. Some clues from ancient Republican Rome
Much has been written in the last two decades on clientelism and patron-client relations. From a concept of relatively marginal concern in the social sciences, clientelism has gained analytical clarity and has been applied with greater precision to political and social relationships found in many contemporary societies
Changing Cultural Landscapes under the Impact of Exile, Diasporas and Return Migration
This article discusses the impact of territorial displacement on Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay during the cycle of dictatorships and democratization of the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century. It points out the complexities and different forms of exile, expatriation and migration which these societies experienced, while asserting that exile could not be undone fully with democratization, as many of those who left did no…
Transitional Justice and Protracted Accountability in Re-democratised Uruguay, 1985-2011
This article analyses the protracted process by which democratised Uruguay has come to terms with its legacy of human rights violations. Central to this process has been the nature of Uruguayan transitional policies and their more recent partial unravelling. Due to the negotiated transition to electoral democracy, civilian political elites approached the transitional dilemma of balancing normative expectations and political contingency by promulg…
Connected histories, power and meaning
The construction of collective identities is central to Shmuel N.Eisenstadt'scomparative research program, as reflected in his studies of civilizations and multiple modernities. This article suggests the theoretical relevance of bridging comparative and transnational studies, calling attention to the impact of connected histories in processes of crystallization of collective identities. Focusing on Central America, this analysis shows that, follo…
Exilio político y democracia
El exilio es un mecanismo de exclusión institucional destinado a revocar el pleno uso de los derechos de ciudadanía y, más aún, prevenir la participación del exiliado/a en la arena política nacional. Por su carácter excluyente, la literatura tiende a atribuirlo a gobiernos autoritarios, así como se asume que los Estados receptores son países bajo gobiernos democráticos. Este trabajo destaca la existencia de una relación más compleja entre exilio …

Caciquismo and Coronelismo
The Latin American middlemen known as caciques in Mexico and coronéis in Brazil are one of the most widespread sociopolitical features of Mexico and Brazil in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The pervasive institutional arrangements established by such political entrepreneurs at local and regional levels, within the framework of the most “center-dominant” polities of Latin America, are well documented in the literature. In this case, perva…

Democratic Transitions and Consolidation in Contemporary Southern Europe and Latin America
This article analyzes the prospects of consolidation of these new democracies comparatively, both in terms of the global background of democratization and of inner factors relative to their political culture, popular participation, state regulation and the institutionalization of conflict management. It claims that the future of the democratic regimes of Latin America seems uncertain when compared to the Southern European polities, due to the com…

Dans cette étude, nous examinons les répercussions sociales de la mondialisation dans une perspective culturelle. Notre analyse porte sur le conflit qui existe entre le discours sur la mondialisation et les priorités locales, entre les droits de l'individu et les engagements des pouvoirs publics ainsi que sur la difficulté de trouver de nouveaux points d'ancrage de l'identité culturelle dans un contexte où les frontières territoriales entre les É…

Un bien público es todo aquél que, por su carácter generalizado y universal, no puede ser negado a nadie una vez en existencia. Vale decir, aquel bien o producto que, al ser consumido por ciertos individuos, está automáticamente a disposición de otros, independientemente de si hubieren contribuido al financiamiento de su producción o no. La calidad del aire que respiramos, la salubridad o el estado de la seguridad personal en la vía pública son e…
