The coup d'état of 1930 and the political change that took place as its immediate consequence were the subject of attention by the Mexican representation in Buenos Aires. The diplomatic reports elevated by Rafael Cabrera, ambassador of Mexico in Argentina, seen on the Historic Archives of the Foreign Relations Secretary of Mexico, showed to the superiority the emergence of growing authoritarianism due to the tutelary presence of the military in local politics. Added to the above, from Mexico some voices were heard against the democratic interruption of Buenos Aires, such as the Latin American student movement and the trade unionist Vicente Lombardo Toledano, who in different spaces supported the defense of democracy in Argentina against the new regime. As a result, the thirties were characterized by the growing distance between the two nations, due to completely divergent political programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

En tierras de Magú Pelá (1932), the first novel of an obscure Argentine writer, Federico Gauffin, is a semi-autobiographical account of his experiences on an expedition he had joined nearly three decades earlier to explore the Pilcomayo River in the Chaco region of northeast Argentina. The novel has received little critical attention, yet it is an invaluable piece of regionalist writing, and it also reveals something of the role of writers vis-à-vis the state and the 1930s Nationalist Project. Most significant, I will argue, are the ways in which the novel works within the narrative structure of the bildungsroman while testing the limits of the genre. The result is not merely another noteworthy Spanish American contribution to the bildungsroman but an intertextual dialogue with contemporary works that have become seminal pieces of Argentine literary history, most notably Ricardo Güiraldes' Don Segundo Sombra and Roberto Arlt's El juguete rabioso. One commonality between these three very different novels is that their apparent failures are paradoxically the keys to their success when viewed from a modernist bildungsroman point of view.

This article problematizes analytically the dissidences produced inside the leadership of the Communist Party of Argentina in 1927 and 1928 between two factions defined by the relation each of them adopted with the leadership of the III International. On the one hand, the line headed by José Penelón claimed for the Argentinean communism some independence in their daily tasks concerning the Soviet international politics. On the other hand, Rodolfo Ghioldi embodied a heavy internationalist position. This study attempts to demonstrate and analyze the existence of some margins of autonomous action inside the PC of Argentina towards the end of the decade of 1920. With this aim, I work mainly with a series of official documents from the Institute of Marxism-Leninism dependent on the Central Committee of the ex-Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

The fortune of 18th and 19th century French literature during the development of the Argentine publishing field (1920-1955) is surprisingly unstable due to strong editorial modifications that annul the canonic treatment usually reserved to books considered “classics". As we shall see in popular editions of Madame Bovary and Salammbô, these modifications either introduce the political and economical context in the novels, or materialize, in the paratext, internal tensions of the text. This perspective broadens, in the line of Donald McKenzie's work, the theoretical scope, as it considers the book (and not only the text) as an indicator of meaning, thus transforming editorial devices into unexpected readers.

This paper examines the women's association movement in Buenos Aires between 1920 and 1940, and its connection with the emergence of a social state. Subsidised by the state, associations led by upper-class women provided a significant number of social assistance services to mothers, working women and children, and had a notable impact on the design of social policy. While historiography concurs that by 1930 the significance of this charitably oriented women's movement had started to decline, being replaced by public welfare services, this paper seeks to question such a conclusion by analysing three of the most important women's social welfare associations in the period and showing how, having become the maternal face of the state, they retained a central role in the provision of social assistance until well into the 1930s, thus helping to prevent the state from becoming a ‘colossal bureaucratic machine’.

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 article discusses the development of labor unions in the sugar industry in the Tucumán province of Argentina from 1930-1943. It examines the process of unionization and the increase in workers' demands regarding higher wages and better working conditions, using historical sources, including newspaper reports, interviews, and official documents. The author also studies the influence of the Argentine government under President Juan Perón on the sugar industry, as well as the formation and effectiveness of the unions. The unions' short- and long-term impact is also explored.

The article explores the reception of eugenics in Argentina in the 1930s. It aims, first, to place eugenics as a topic of expert and public concern against the background of the "demographic fears" associated with the decline of the birthrate among the white population and the closing of European immigration that followed the world depression. Second, it underscores the role played by Italian and German cultural and scientific transnational networks in the reception and dissemination of medical ideas of race improvement. Based upon previously overlooked sources of the Prussian state archives, the essay seeks to revise conventional "neo-Lamarckian" explanations about Latin America's (and Argentina's) alleged immunity to negative eugenics. By examining the activities of the Asociación de Biotipología, the debates of the Second Pan-American Conference on Eugenics, and the academic exchanges fostered by the Deutsche-Iberoamerikanische Ärzteakademie, the article argues that Argentine medical practitioners were much more receptive to eugenic sterilization than previously claimed. As they made great efforts to separate it from other "unscientific" forms of racism, they lent credibility to practices which, as recent research has shown, many of them had adopted on allegedly therapeutic grounds.

The article discusses the rise of voluntary associations and their relationship with the state in Argentina during the interwar period (1920-1940). The author considers the public role of civil associations in Argentina during the period, cites the increased interest in the concept of civil society in Latin American historical studies, and reflects on their historiographic impact regarding the tension between private and public interests. She also cites several of these studies including "Vida y muerte de la república verdadera (1910-1930)" by T. Halperín, "El Estado y las corporaciones. Madurez de la sociedad civil. 1920-1943" by Luis Alberto Romero and "Representación política y burocracia: las juntas reguladoras de la producción, 1930-1943" by A. V. Persello.

The article focuses on the political processes in Buenos Aires, Argentina at the beginning of the 20th century. The author explores the role of the press and popular mobilizations in political opposition to the PAN (Partido Autonomista Nacional) political party during the period of 1880-1916. She critiques the perspective presented in the book "El orden conservador" by Natalio Botana concerning the dominance of the PAN party and proposes an alternative perspective regarding political and social opposition.

This article discusses Manuel and Arturo Civit as key pioneering agents of the rationalist vanguard in Mendoza. It touches on various aspects, from their personal lives - including their relationships with local political and architectural circles - to their professional development. The article places particular emphasis on the Civits' adherence to the principles of modern architecture and how they expressed these principles both theoretically and in terms of their participation in public life. We believe that examination of the careers of these architects sheds light on the political, economic, and cultural conditions existing in the city when they arrived, as well as rationalist aesthetics and their underlying ideology, which changed the urban landscape of Mendoza.
