Gendering Antifascism: Women's Activism in Argentina and the World, 1918-1947
In her meticulous study of the Victory Board (Junta de la Victoria) in Argentina, Sandra McGee Deutsch has unearthed a previously overlooked all-women movement that proves to be a fundamental missing link in the histories of anti-fascism and feminism, not only in the country but also in Latin America. The Victory Board did not emerge in a vacuum as many of its members had previously participated in earlier local women's organizations, Popular Fro…
Beyond Sex: Pornographic Journalism, Violence, and Politics in Argentina's Transition to Democracy
After 1983, with the end of the military dictatorship and the return to democracy, nudity and sex became ubiquitous in Argentina. As society was eroticised and sexuality politicised, a debate about limits, excesses, correctness, and standards arose, in which pornography was central. In addition to the increasing production, access to, and circulation of sexually explicit materials and the debates and tensions around it, the pornographic pervaded …
El dinero no es todo: Compra y venta de sexo en la Argentina del siglo XX
With El dinero no es todo: Compra y venta de sexo en la Argentina del siglo XX, Patricio Simonetto intervenes in the robust historiography of prostitution in Argentina and Latin America, a field pioneered by Donna Guy's book and enriched, in recent years, by the work of Tiffany Sippial, Katherine Bliss, Paulo Drinot, and Mir Yarfitz, among others. Simonetto writes a social history focused on Buenos Aires province; his attention to various cities,…

Sex and Democracy: The Meanings of theDestapein Postdictatorial Argentina
In 1983, elections in Argentina ended one of the bloodiest dictatorships in Latin America (1976-83), and once the elected president Raúl Alfonsín took office, Argentines rejoiced in a democratic spring. The destape was the most explosive cultural trend in the return to democracy, emerging timidly in 1981 as the military grew weaker but remained in power and gaining momentum between 1983 and 1987. Destapar means to take the lid off, uncover, expos…

Creating Charismatic Bonds in Argentina: Letters to Juan and Eva Perón by Donna Guy
Although other historians of Argentina have examined letter writing to the Peróns, Creating Charismatic Bonds is the first book-length study of the subject. Guy places charisma—a slippery concept that the most recent analyses of Peronism have eluded—at the center of her examination by asking what role letters played in forming and maintaining the relationships with the people and shaping the leaders’ charismatic personalities. Broadly defined, ch…
A Man Like You: Juan Domingo Perón and the Politics of Attraction in Mid‐Twentieth‐Century Argentina
Creating Mexican Consumer Culture in the Age of Porfirio Díaz
The regime of Porfirio Díaz set the historical stage for the Mexican Revolution through an exclusionary model of state-driven modernization founded on the country’s participation in the global economy, the imitation of foreign models of economic and cultural development, and an utter disregard for the social costs of this version of order and progress. By proposing a reinterpretation of this process of incipient industrialization, urbanization, a…
The Liberating Flame: Natural Gas Production in Peronist Argentina
Accounting for more than 50 percent of primary energy consumption, gas is used more extensively in Argentina than in the Netherlands, the United States, or the United Kingdom. However, the importance of natural gas in the everyday life of Argentines has a short history. In the early 1940s, almost all gas was coal gas provided by private companies that served only 200,000 customers, a minuscule group of clients in a country whose population was ne…
La politique alimentaire et la consommation dans l'Argentine péroniste
Dès les débuts du gouvernement de Juan Domingo Perón, les pratiques alimentaires constituent non seulement une dimension essentielle de la politique de l’État, mais aussi un élément central de la propagande gouvernementale. Cet article s’oppose à la séparation analytique de l’étude des politiques de celles des imaginaires afin d’ouvrir de nouvelles pistes de réflexion sur le péronisme. Dans un premier temps, nous mettons l’accent sur le rôle cent…
Dignifying Argentina: Peronism, Citizenship, and Mass Consumption
Eduardo Elena’s innovative study of consumption during Juan Domingo Perón’s first and second governments (1946 – 55) shows that many fundamental facets of Peronism, one of the most researched subjects in Argentine historiography, have yet to be discovered. Elena joins a cohort of US and Argentine scholars interested in the “democratization of well-being” during the Peronist era, that is, the improvement of living conditions based on new forms of …
The Ruins of the New Argentina: Peronism and the Remaking of San Juan after the 1944 Earthquake
Although it was unquestionably the worst natural disaster in Argentine history, the 1944 earthquake in San Juan has been reduced to a mere anecdote: the quake gave Juan Domingo Perón national visibility as he organized the relief collection that made him cross paths with Eva Duarte, the woman who would help him build one of the most powerful and enduring political movements in Latin America. In his finely written and thoroughly researched study, …
The New Cultural History of Peronism: Power and Identity in Mid-Twentieth-Century Argentina
Food Politics and Consumption in Peronist Argentina
From the beginning of Juan Domingo Perón's administration, food consumption was both a significant object of state policy and a central component of official propaganda. This essay resists the analytical separation between politics and imaginaries in order to expand our understanding of Peronism in new directions. First, it shows the economic, political, and iconographic centrality of food for state planning, commercial culture, public health, an…
Redefining Men's Sexuality, Resignifying Male Bodies: The Argentine Law of Anti‐Venereal Prophylaxis, 1936
By analysing governmental, legal and medical sources, this article examines Argentina's first national law of anti‐venereal prophylaxis enacted in 1936. It argues that two aspects of the law, the abolition of legalised prostitution and the mandatory prenuptial medical exam and certificate for men, especially signalled a shift in the state's concern for men's sexuality. The essay demonstrates that this shift was based on the legal and medical reco…
Gender and Generation: The University Reform Movement in Argentina, 1918
In March 1918, students at the National University of Córdoba (UNC), Argentina, rebelled against the university system, accusing professors of being authoritarian, inefficient, clerically oriented, and obscurantist. Through strikes, rallies, petitions to the national authorities, and the seizure of the UNC in September 1918, the students successfully forced the national government to carry out the University Reform, thus serving as an inspiration…
