Description
Summary:The paper aims at contributing to the studies on religion and politics in Latin America by analyzing the interrelations between Judaism and Kirchnerism in Argentina. In order to accomplish its objectives, the author analyzes the discursive production of ethnicity in both the Llamamiento Argentino Judío and Jewish newspaper Comunidades. These two cases have been chosen because of their placement in opposing sides of the political spectrum. While the Llamamiento sustains Kirchnerist governments, Comunidades expresses a kind of interrelation between Judaism and politics that we have called ethnic anti-Kirchnerism. The study of these processes allows us to reflect on several issues such as: (1) Jewish integration into the national society, (2) the relevance of Jewish affairs in the Argentinean political setting, and (3) the relevance of available political identities in the making of the Jewish field.
