In early 1995, Italy ordered the extradition from Argentina to Italy of Erich Priebke. The request was made on the basis of an arrest petition against Priebke issued by the Judge in charge of the preliminary investigation before the Military Justice of Rome. Priebke was accused of ‘having been a member of the German Army, an enemy of the Italian State, in cooperation with … odier German soldiers, widi … executive action of … criminal design and acting with cruelty on people … causing the death of 335 people most of them Italian citizens, military men and civilian people who were not taking part in military operations, and premeditated shooting some shots against them, in “Cave Ardeatine”, Rome, on 24 March 1944 during the time of the war between Italy and Germany.’

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In 1935, the Argentine-German botanist Ilse von Rentzell (1893–1985) published the book “Maravillas de nuestras plantas indígenas y algunas exóticas” (Wonders of our Indigenous Plants and Some Exotic Plants) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, illustrated with photographs taken by the Russian photographer Anatole Saderman (1904–1993). The publication of this book was entirely selffinanced by Von Rentzell herself, and it is one of the first in Argentina to include such a large number of photographs with this much prominence. The collaborative photographic work developed by these authors goes beyond the images included in the book. Working together, they created a corpus of photographs that each of them used in the following years to enhance their personal careers. At the time, these photographs of plants represented a break in Argentine photography, building bridges with the genealogy of botanical photographic publications in other parts of the world.

Full textAbstract:
This article reexamines early twentieth-century Argentine cultural nationalism, arguing that the movement's true significance rests in its promotion of a vision of Argentine nationhood that closely resembled the ideal of the folk nation upheld by German romanticism. Drawing from recent theoretical literature on ethnic nationalism, the article examines the political implications of this movement and explores the way in which the vigorous promotion of the ethnocultural vision of argentinidad by cultural nationalists served to detach definitions of Argentine identity from constitutional foundations and from the ideas of citizenship and popular sovereignty. It also challenges the accepted view that Argentine cultural nationalism represented a radical break with late nineteenth-century positivism. Positivist ideas about social organicism, collective character and historical determinism all helped paved the way for the Romantic vision of nationhood celebrated by the cultural nationalists.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyses the state of German bilateral relations with South America’ states in defense and security field. The decline in the dialogue between Germany and Latin America’ countries during the COVID-19 pandemic turned out to be more significant than in other regional areas . The key reason is the difficulties in strengthening German strategic positions on the continent in the second half of the 2010. The paper stresses the functional and geographical narrowness of German political and diplomatic opportunities. In the military sphere the cooperation was mainly reduced to the export of weapons produced in Germany. In its attempts to create strategic positions in South America official Berlin has traditionally focused on strengthening relations with Brazil. The factor of non-diversification of Germany’s regional contacts has been fully manifested in the situation of stagnation and degradation of German-Brazilian relations in the second half of the 2010-s. The reasons of it are not only the specificities of president J. Bolsonaro`s foreign policy, but also the fact that transition to the declared new levels of cooperation (strategic partnership since 2008, the launch of interstate consultations format in 2015) was not supported by a corresponding increase of the volumes of practical cooperation in the field of security and defense. In this context the author focuses on relaunching German-Brazilian bilateral relations as well as the FRG attempts to make dialogue with Argentine, Chile and Mexico more active. At the same time Berlin tries to increase efforts for ensuring peace in Columbia and for settlement of the situation around Venezuela. Failures in creating its own vaccine against COVID-19 did not allow Germany to use a potential «window of opportunity» in strengthening its strategic positions in Latin America.

Time series corresponding to nominal exchange rates between the US dollar and Argentina, Brazil and European Economic Community currencies; different financial indexes as the Industrial Dow Jones, the British Footsie, the German DAX Composite, the Australian Share Price and the Nikkei Cash and also different Argentine local tax revenues, are analyzed looking for the appearance of simple patterns and the possible definition of forecast evaluators. In every case, the statistical fractal dimensions are obtained from the behavior of the corresponding variance of increments at a given lag. The detrended fluctuation analysis of the data in terms of the corresponding exponent in the resulting power law is carried out. Finally, the frequency power spectra of all the time series considered are computed and compared

Abstract. The Argentine-German Geodetic Observatory (AGGO) is one of the very few sites in the Southern Hemisphere equipped with comprehensive cutting-edge geodetic instrumentation. The employed observation techniques are used for a wide range of geophysical applications. The data set provides gravity time series and selected gravity models together with the hydrometeorological monitoring data of the observatory. These parameters are of great interest to the scientific community, e.g. for achieving accurate realization of terrestrial and celestial reference frames. Moreover, the availability of the hydrometeorological products is beneficial to inhabitants of the region as they allow for monitoring of environmental changes and natural hazards including extreme events. The hydrological data set is composed of time series of groundwater level, modelled and observed soil moisture content, soil temperature, and physical soil properties and aquifer properties. The meteorological time series include air temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, solar radiation, precipitation, and derived reference evapotranspiration. These data products are extended by gravity models of hydrological, oceanic, La Plata estuary, and atmospheric effects. The quality of the provided meteorological time series is tested via comparison to the two closest WMO (World Meteorological Organization) sites where data are available only in an inferior temporal resolution. The hydrological series are validated by comparing the respective forward-modelled gravity effects to independent gravity observations reduced up to a signal corresponding to local water storage variation. Most of the time series cover the time span between April 2016 and November 2018 with either no or only few missing data points. The data set is available at https://doi.org/10.5880/GFZ.5.4.2018.001 (Mikolaj et al., 2018).

Full textAbstract:
Political studies of military institutions in Latin America have tended to lay heavy stress on their external linkages, with a good deal of emphasis being placed upon the ‘differential degrees of dependence upon other countries for supplies, parts, training and equipment by the various service branches’. This particularly the case when scholars attempt to explain why two military institutions differ in their political behaviour and ideological orientation. Thus, we find Lieuwen asserting that[t]he aristocratic tendencies of [Latin American] naval officers… often were moderated by the democratic views of the British and United States officers who were their professional advisers. Conversely, before World War II, authoritarian attitudes of some Latin American armies were reinforced by the influence of German, Spanish, and Italian military missions.

Historical Reflections/Réflexions Historiques 49, no. 2 (June 1, 2023): 73–93. http://dx.doi.org/10.3167/hrrh.2023.490205.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article explores the process of circulation of normative models and legal theories between Europe and Latin America. It analyzes the circulation of the German possessory model in the Argentinian legal experience between the enactment of the Civil Code of 1869 and the Civil Code Draft of 1936. We argue that the prominence of possession in nineteenth-century local legal culture and practices both conditioned and encouraged the reception of this model. The criticisms that arose at the beginning of the twentieth century regarding the liberal property law of the Civil Code were channelled, in the Civil Code Draft of 1936, through an expansion of the protection of possession to situations not previously contemplated, such as rural and urban leaseholds. German law, which served among other things, as the basis for this legal innovation, was adapted to specific legal traditions operating in provincial regulations.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract 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.

Full textAbstract:
Debates over whether transnational and international legal institutions are fair, effective, or legitimate responses to corruption of local public officials have an important empirical dimension. We use case studies to examine whether foreign legal institutions serve as fair, effective, and legitimate complements to local anticorruption institutions. We refer to this set of claims as the “institutional complementarity theory.” The first case study centers on proceedings concerning bribes paid by subsidiaries of Siemens AG, a German company, to obtain and retain a contract to provide national identity cards for the Argentine government. The second case study examines events stemming from overbilling in the construction of a courthouse in Brazil. Analysis of these cases suggests that the institutional complementary theory is credible. At the same time, the findings suggest that local institutions have greater potential, and foreign institutions have more limited potential, than the theory assumes.

Full textAbstract:
The career of Dr. Heinz Brücher (1915–1991), a German-Argentine botanist of my personal acquaintance, demonstrates that while science may be impartial, scientists are not. Deconstructing Brücher's ethnobotanical writings has required also reconstructing a Nazi past to put his life and work in their appropriate historical context. Brücher's role in the theft of Vavilov's plant collections in the Ukraine in 1943 and his research on cultivated plants at an SS center in Austria have relevance for understanding his post-war presence and activities in South America. Analysis of his publications in ethnobotany and economic botany, especially as they relate to the potato and to Vavilov's ideas, are placed in the context of his ethnobiography. This retrospective on a life with plants raises issues about political and social ideology in science and about claims to objective knowledge. It also points to the value of broadening ethnobiology to include more reflexive perspectives.

Full textAbstract:
The eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte was in 1852 a bumpy edi-tion and a circulation limited to German emigrants in the United States, without the slightest direct impact on the events of contempo-rary France. The French public only knew a translation in 1891, when Louis Bonaparte's regime had collapsed two decades earlier. However, the work of Karl Marx became a classic in the first decades of the twen-tieth century, while the notion of Bonapartism transcended its national and epochal context, to become a category of modern political thought thought. With Trotsky's exile in Mexico in 1937, the notion was in-corporated into the Latin American political vocabulary to account for Cardenismo and other national-popular regimes that emerged on this continent throughout the twentieth century. After intensive use, the term fell into disuse in the 1980s, being displaced by a surrogate notion, that of populism, elaborated by the Argentine political scientist Ernesto Laclau.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Chronic cancer-related fatigue is difficult to manage in breast cancer survivors. The tango trial showed that a six-week tango Argentino program was effective in reducing fatigue and improving quality of life, and here we investigated the sustainability of this tango program for breast cancer survivors. Methods: Stage I–III breast cancer survivors with increased fatigue symptoms were analyzed. The fifty participants in the tango trial were compared with a control cohort (n = 108) who did not participate in the tango program. Using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Questionnaire C30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30) and the German version of the cancer fatigue scale (CFS-D) self-reported quality of life parameters were assessed and longitudinal changes, correlations, and association factors were calculated. Results: Significant improvements in fatigue (p = 0.006), physical functioning (p = 0.01), and diarrhea (p = 0.04) persisted in the 50 Tango participants at 6 months, but not in the control cohort. Twelve months after joining the tango program, increased fatigue was associated with reduced sporting activities (p = 0.0005), but this was not the case for tango dancing. Conclusions: The present results suggest that tango may be appropriate as a component of early supportive and follow-up care programs, to promote health-related quality of life and physical activity and also eventually to improve long-term clinical outcomes of breast cancer survivors. Trial registration: Trial registration numbers DRKS00013335 on 27 November 2017 and DRKS00021601 on 21 August 2020 retrospectively registered.

Full textAbstract:
The study of canine immunohematology is very important for veterinary transfusion medicine. The objective of this study was to determine the DEA blood type frequencies in a purebred canine blood donor population from Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. One hundred clinically healthy purebred dogs were chosen, 20 dogs from each breed (Great Dane, Rottweiler, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd and Argentine Dogo). Blood samples were taken in ACD-A tubes and the MSU hemagglutination tube test (MI, USA) was used to determine the blood types. The studied population presented general frequencies of 61% for DEA 1.1, 22% for DEA 1.2, 7% for DEA 3, 100% for DEA 4, 9% for DEA 5 and 16% for DEA 7. A significant association was found between breeds and certain combinations of blood types in this population. The results are in agreement with the literature since most part of the canine population studied was positive for DEA 1.1, the most antigenic blood type in dogs. Differences were found among the studied breeds and those should be considered when selecting a blood donor. The knowledge of blood types frequencies and their combinations in different canine populations, including different breeds, is important because it shows the particularities of each group, helps to keep a data bank of local frequencies and minimizes the risks of transfusion reactions.

Full textAbstract:
This article is related to the study of specialized translation, specifically to lexical and phraseological variation in legal translation. In fact, this study arises from the need to delve deeper into the study of Spanish phraseological units using larger corpora, considering the varieties that reflect the convergences and divergences of this language throughout the places where it is spoken. To this end, the paper approaches sentences using a comparative corpus-based approach analysing phraseological units used in Argentine and Spain. The research provides a brief contextualization of the legal systems of the selected countries, and, by using corpus linguistics, the PUs are extracted and compared. The main objective is to detect similarities and differences at the phraseological level in both languages and to provide functional equivalents in German that can be useful for students and translators. The findings show that at the methodological level corpus linguistics is a useful tool for the identification of PUs in specialized texts. Furthermore, the analysis of the examples from the corpus of sentences shows the evidence of lexical variants referring to the same reality both within a single variety of Spanish and between different varieties. This consequently determines the need to further study the PUs of Spanish by using a more extensive corpus, considering the different countries in which Spanish is an official language.

Nel 1884 Edmondo De Amicis si reca in Argentina invitato dal direttore del quotidiano El Nacional a tenere delle conferenze su Garibaldi, Cavour, Mazzini ed altri personaggi della storia italiana. In questo modo prepara anche il terreno per il libro Cuore che arriverà in Argentina tre anni dopo e che sarà accolto trionfalmente, venendo addirittura adottato come libro di testo nella scuola. Verso la fine del secolo però una recrudescenza della cultura nazionalistica che si vedeva minacciata da quella degli emigranti, soprattutto italiani, fa sì che il libro di De Amicis venga proibito dal Consejo Nacional de Educación e sostituito da traduzioni che manipolavano l’originale, nazionalizzandolo in modo da salvaguardare lo “spirito nazionale argentino”. L’articolo analizza la tipologia di tre diversi modelli di traduzione: Corazón argentino. Diario de un niño di Carlota Garrido de la Peña, del 1913; Corazón, Traducción y adaptación para el niño argentino di Germán Berdiales e Fernando Tognetti, del 1937; e Corazón.

This article examines the demographic and occupational selectivity of German immigration to South America (primarily Argentina and Brazil) and Australia, compared to Germans bound for the United States, and the geographic and occupational niches they occupied at various destinations. It draws upon both individual-level and aggregate data from censuses and migration records on three continents to examine occupational profiles, urbanization rates, sex ratios, age structure, and age heaping as a rough measure of “quality,” among German immigrants to these destinations, concluding that immigration to the United States tended to be the least selective.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to assess the competitiveness of the Uruguayan rural tourism sector against its main competitors from Argentina and Brazil, as perceived by Uruguayan stakeholders on the supply side. The paper will also evaluate the potential of Uruguay as a rural tourism destination in attracting German tourists. Design/methodology/approach – Two different questionnaires were administered, one to Uruguayan rural tourism stakeholders and another one to potential German tourists in Germany. Findings – The findings indicate that the main strengths of Uruguayan rural tourism offer, compared to Argentina and Brazil, are the hospitality and friendliness of local people, the natural and cultural attractions and the country’s security and safety. Main weaknesses identified were the poor management of several destination components that are key to create a successful tourism destination and poor management of the “demand conditions” component of Dwyer and Kim’s (2003) integrated model. Originality/value – There is very limited research done on the competitiveness of Uruguay as a rural tourist destination in attracting foreign tourists (Mackinnon et al., 2009). The objective of this study is to partially fill this gap by assessing how competitive Uruguayan rural tourism is and evaluating whether Uruguay represents an attractive market for German tourists looking for agro tourism and farm holiday destinations. The German market was chosen because it is one of the top tourist-generating countries and one of the biggest spenders in international tourism (The World Tourism organization, 2010). Moreover, most tourists – from outside South America – selecting Uruguay as a tourist destination come from Germany, USA and Australia (Peralta, 2012).

Phytopathology® 107, no. 12 (December 2017): 1532–40. http://dx.doi.org/10.1094/phyto-03-17-0126-r.
Full textAbstract:
Phytophthora austrocedri is causing widespread mortality of Austrocedrus chilensis in Argentina and Juniperus communis in Britain. The pathogen has also been isolated from J. horizontalis in Germany. Isolates from Britain, Argentina, and Germany are homothallic, with no clear differences in the dimensions of sporangia, oogonia, or oospores. Argentinian and German isolates grew faster than British isolates across a range of media and had a higher temperature tolerance, although most isolates, regardless of origin, grew best at 15°C and all isolates were killed at 25°C. Argentinian and British isolates caused lesions when inoculated onto both A. chilensis and J. communis; however, the Argentinian isolate caused longer lesions on A. chilensis than on J. communis and vice versa for the British isolate. Genetic analyses of nuclear and mitochondrial loci showed that all British isolates are identical. Argentinian isolates and the German isolate are also identical but differ from the British isolates. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms are shared between the British and Argentinian isolates. We concluded that British isolates and Argentinian isolates conform to two distinct clonal lineages of P. austrocedri founded from the same as-yet-unidentified source population. These lineages should be recognized and treated as separate risks by international plant health legislation.

Between the late 1930s and early 1940s Mexico City and Buenos Aires became the centres of activity for the two most relevant anti-fascist organisations of German-speaking exiles in Latin America: the communist-inspired Free German Movement (Bewegung Freies Deutschland;BFD) and the social-democratic oriented The Other Germany (Das Andere Deutschland;DAD). Both organisations envisaged the creation of an anti-fascist front within Latin America, one which would allow for greater unity of action, and thus carried out extensive congresses at Mexico City and Montevideo in 1943. Due to crucial ideological and tactical differences, this dream of anti-fascist unity led to a power struggle between BFD and DAD, well illustrated in the impact it had on Bolivia. This article seeks a new perspective on how, thanks to the establishment of transnational networks, a continental debate on the meaning and methods of anti-fascism then took place, while also shedding light on the influence the Latin American context had in shaping the exiles’ plans for a new Germany.

Full textAbstract:
Este artículo propone una mirada sobre el extenso y a la vez denso entramado de trabajos por la memoria postdictatorial articulada entre Argentina y España. Partiendo de sus implicaciones conflictivas más estudiadas, vuelca su mirada sobre los novísimos aportes tanto en términos generacionales como mediales, y en distintas cohortes descendientes de víctimas y victimarios. El interés por la transferibilidad de los esfuerzos mnemónicos de las sociedades postdictatoriales lleva a un objeto medial específico: la fotografía. La pregunta que orienta entonces el ensayo es cuáles serían las posibilidades de este arte (lúcido) de participar de un narrative que busque hacer visibles aspectos de una memoria a la que se la han inscrito anatomías de la división ideológica. Así, se analiza un encuentro entre descendientes de víctimas y victimarios de la guerra de España y su registro fotográfico realizado por José Aymá, y se verifica si este trabajo puede ser comparado con una obra genuinamente transcultural del argentino Gustavo Germano. Esta puesta en relación de dos trabajos fotográficos que enfocan los estatus de unión/separación, se verá enmarcada por una serie de reflexiones referidas a las (meto-)mnemografías transculturales que se expresan en el espacio de los nuevos medios. The present essay proposes a perspective on the very complex network of post-dictatorial ‘memory work’ articulated between Argentina and Spain, including not only the most conflictive zones —that have been widely studied— but primarily the newest contributions, both with regard to generational patterns and to media communication strategies. The essay’s focus lies on photography, seeing this form of expression as a ‘lucid art’ and as an important element when it comes to creating a narrative that helps to make visible certain aspects of a memory that has been ideologically divided. In the light of this, the essay analyses an encounter between descendants of victims and victimizers of the Spanish war, portrayed by José Aymá. The intention is to determine if the work of this Spanish photographer could be compared with another, genuinely transcultural work by the argentine photographer Gustavo Germano. Beyond this ‘dialogue’ of photographic portraits that focus the status of union versus separation, the essay suggests a number of reflections on the transcultural meta-mnemographies that are to be found in the new media space.

Information about the insolvency of big enterprises such as Enron and Worldcom in the United States; Bremer Vulkan, Philip Holzmann, Babcock Borsig, CargoLifter, Walter Bau and “Ihr Platz GmbH & Co KG” in Germany; and discussion about the insolvency of States (e.g. Argentina) has awakened public interest in insolvency law and proceedings. Both the high number of insolvent enterprises and the increasing rate of consumer insolvency are shocking.The German Insolvency Act of 1999 created a uniform insolvency statute for all of Germany. In most cases, upon the instituting of insolvency proceedings, only small or no-insolvency estates were available. As a result, creditors only received average distributions of between three and five percent. Approximately three quarters of all insolvency procedures could not be instituted because of an insufficient insolvency estate. A large number of the insolvency proceedings carried out by the courts had to be terminated prematurely due to lack of assets. This deficiency in the law, referred to as the “bankruptcy of bankruptcy,” is to be remedied by the new Insolvency Act, as a failure in instituting insolvency proceedings is damaging confidence in the German economy.

This is a traditional archival review of the personal provenance fond of Boris Alekseevich Smyslovsky, deposited in the National Archive of the Principality of Liechtenstein (Liechten stein Landesarchiv). The object of the study is formation of Boris Alekseevich Smyslovsky’s personal provenance fond and its information capacity. The article attempts to reconstruct the biography of B. A. Smyslovsky; to clarify the circumstances of acquisition of B. A. Smyslovsky’ documents by the archive of the Principality of Liechtenstein; to identify major document groups and their value to researchers. Boris Alekseevich Smyslovsky was born into a noble family of Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Smyslovsky on November 21, 1897 in the village of Terioki near St. Petersburg. He was a First World War and Civil War veteran. After the end of the Civil War, he lived in emigration in Poland. After German invasion in Poland, he worked at the headquarters of the German military intelligence in Warsaw “Abvernebenstelle-Warsaw.” In the days of the Great Patriotic War, he ran reconnaissance and sabotage units of the German army. In 1945, he was interned in the Principality of Liechtenstein with the remnants of his units. He was able to avoid repatriation and leave for Argentina. In September 1948, he created and headed the “Field-Marshal A.V. Suvorov Union of Russian Former War Veterans” in Argentina. He was a counter terrorism security advisor to the President of Argentina Juan Domingo Peron. Since 1966, he lived in Germany, collaborated with the foreign intelligence service of Germany, and held the position of adviser to the General Staff of the Bundeswehr. In 1973, B. A. Smyslovsky retired. In 1975, he moved to Liechtenstein with his wife. He died there on September 5, 1988. After his death, his documents were handed over to the National Archive of the Principality of Liechtenstein by his wife Irina Nikolaevna Holmston-Smyslovskaya (Kochanovich). In total, there are 90 files in the fond, including biographical documents; creative materials (books and articles by B. A. Smyslovsky); correspondence; documents collected by B. A. Smyslovsky; photographs; printed materials (books and periodicals). B. A. Smyslovsky’s personal provenance fond, deposited in the National Archive of the Principality of Liechtenstein, is of great interest to historians of the Second World War and history of post-war displaced persons. The author contends that these documents have not been sufficiently studied by the Russian researchers. This very article is an attempt to inform of the documents of the the B.A. Smyslovsky fond.

One of the main problems in science education nowadays, and especially in chemical education, is that the students usually cannot perceive the relevance of what they learn in their classes. There have been some efforts to improve the student interest and motivation without diminishing the understanding of the chemistry concepts. The context-based methodologies allow the students to see the relevance and applicability of what they learn in the chemistry classes, connecting the canonical science with their lives, interests and previous knowledge. One of these methodologies, Chemie im Kontext (Chemistry in Context in German), was developed in Germany to improve chemistry teaching in secondary education. Its main features include the use of contexts throughout the whole teaching unit and the effort to foster student self-learning. At present, there is an ongoing project, supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), to assess the use of a German context-based methodology, Chemie im Kontext (ChiK in the following) in four secondary schools in the Madrid region (Spain). Based on a collaboration with the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina) this case study has been accompanied by a secondone carried out in Buenos Aires during 2015 and 2016. The main goal of this project is to identify which changes students and teachers perceive when comparing a ChiK teaching unit to the traditional teaching approach. This article focuses on the students’ opinions concerning the use of a ChiK methodology in chemistry classes in Spain and Argentina and therefore allows a first insight into possible effects of this teaching approach.

Triggered by the spread of the Coronavirus and the lockdown of universities in spring 2020, universities were required to provide infrastructure for digital teaching within a very short time. Further, all university members needed to develop knowledge and skills for teaching online. This paper presents data from the cross-cultural CRTS-Study (Coronavirus-Related Teaching Situation Study), which compares the experiences, attitudes and needs of university teachers in Germany and Argentina during the first lockdown in the context of the Coronavirus pandemic. The study has been carried out in spring 2020 as a cross-sectional online survey study with university teachers in Germany and Argentina (N = 728). The overall picture reveals a mostly successful implementation of online teaching for university teachers in both countries, with Argentinian university teachers reporting a slightly more positive perspective and slightly higher self-efficacy beliefs in online teaching when compared with the German colleagues. The results of regression analysis hint at the relevance of prior personal experience and institutional support for self-efficacy beliefs in online teaching for both samples. In conclusion, individual experience and training as well as supportive institutional conditions seem to be relevant for the development of digital teaching at universities in both countries.

Full textAbstract:
In 1969 West Germany, the country was abuzz with anticipation of the approaching Beethoven bicentennial. That year the composer and experimental filmmaker Mauricio Raúl Kagel, born in Argentina to Russian- and German-Jewish parents in 1931 and living in Cologne since 1957, was commissioned by the State to commemorate the momentous occasion. What resulted was a film that surely no West German official had anticipated. Entitled Ludwig van: A Report and strongly inflected by Kagel’s absurdist aesthetic, Kagel’s film critiques the fetish object that Beethoven’s music and person had become in twentieth-century West Germany, touching upon, amongst many topics, East German claims of Beethoven’s “misuse” by the West German government, as well as the rise in the 1960s of the theory that Beethoven was Black. While Ludwig van has been recognized for its sendup of bourgeois music culture, it has yet to be analyzed from the perspective of diasporic experience. Simultaneously a love letter to and deconstruction of Beethoven’s cultural legacy, Ludwig van asks its audience to consider the complex diasporic experiences of avant-garde artists in the wake of WWII. Drawing on work by Brigid Cohen, I argue for the centrality of the theme of migration and displacement in Ludwig van. And in reading two central scenes from the film, I consider, in dialogue with Scott Burnham, what light the fifty-one-year-old film’s critique of the fetishization of origins and genealogy might shed on the celebration of Beethoven’s 250th birthday in 2020, and such acts of memorization more generally.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo problematizar a constituição de um campo intelectual acadêmico, a partir do processo da institucionalização da Sociologia na Argentina, a partir de uma perspectiva que leva em conta as vicissitudes formais e epistemológicas das tensões que emergem no mundo intelectual argentino no momento imediatamente posterior à queda do peronismo (1955). A partir da análise da circulação das propostas dos sociólogos que encampam esse projeto, notadamente do ítalo-argentino Gino Germani, o intuito é pensar a emergência da figura do intelectual acadêmico como sujeito salutar nessas disputas. Consideramos, para tanto, uma discussão que visa conectar a análise dos intelectuais com sua problematização sociológica, compreendendo a ação e as tentativas de ação desses indivíduos dentro de uma disputa conjuntural por definir as fronteiras desse novo campo e, nesse sentido, projetarem-se como interlocutores propositivos da interpretação do peronismo, querela que polariza e mobiliza a circulação de ideias naquele contexto.

Desde la década de 1930 los nacionalsocialistas de la Argentina diseñaron una serie de mecanismos orientados a inculcar un sentimiento de comunidad renovada y armónica que abarcara a la mayor parte de la muy variada población germanoparlante del país. Estas iniciativas fueron encabezadas por un conjunto de instituciones asociadas al partido que intentaron adentrarse en la vida cotidiana de miles de personas para conformar ámbitos de sociabilidad que crearan un “nosotros” alemán y nacionalsocialista. Con este objetivo fue establecido el Deutsch-Argentinisches Pfadfinderkorps (Cuerpo de exploradores germano-argentino) que integraba a niños y jóvenes de entre 8 y 18 años. Este artículo examina las páginas de su publicación oficial, Junges Volk, y detiene su mirada en los dispositivos que ayudaron a delinear en sus lectores una identidad alemana, nacionalsocialista y argentina, en un escenario político local signado por las denuncias sobre una potencial “infiltración nazi” en el país y las crecientes preocupaciones acerca de lealtad nacional de los hijos de los inmigrantes.

Abstract German-Brazilians recreated their homeland in Misiones, Argentina. They are distinguished for having developed transgenerational migration patterns: they inhabited the south of Brazil for a hundred years and then lived almost another century in Argentina. This article analyses how the identity of German migrants was shaped by their feeling of belonging to this new territory and what tensions were evidenced in their identity. Oral history and ethnographic fieldwork were the basis of this research that seeks to unravel tensions between identity and ethnicity after a century of settlement in Argentina (1919–2019). It has been structured in three parts: first some debates about Germanness are exposed. German-Brazilian immigration in Misiones is presented, and finally, tensions between identity and ethnicity are analysed through the Vogelfest, a family party.

Argentina covers an area of 3 million square kilometers, with almost one third of the population living in the capital district of Buenos Aires and the greater Buenos Aires area (the neighborhoods surrounding the capital district). Like other Latin American countries, Argentina is populated by a mixture of different ethnic cultures; however, unlike other Latin American countries, most Argentinians are of central and west European descent. People older than age 50 are mainly European immigrants or first- or second-generation Europeans. The mestizos—a fusion of Europeans and native Argentinians—are the second largest ethnic group, followed by the natives, most of whom live in the central and north part of the country. Argentinian aborigines have been largely eradicated, consisting of a small community confined to special reserves. Volga German descendants are grouped in large colonies in the central and eastern regions of the country.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractFrom the late nineteenth century through the interwar period, the production and consumption of German things played critical roles in delineating and connecting a wide variety of German places in Latin America. Such places became ubiquitous in Chile and Argentina. They flourished because there was ample room in the German imagination for the multiplicity of German places and the cultural hybridity that accompanied them to extend beyond Imperial Germany's national boundaries and colonial possessions. They also flourished because host societies found virtue in having those German places in their states. This essay uses German schools in Argentina and Chile as a window into the emergence of such German places and the soft power that accompanied them. Scholars often overlook that power when they focus on colonial questions or formal and informal imperialism in Latin America. More than any other institution, German schools became sites where the production and consumption of German things were concentrated and multilayered, and where the consistencies and great varieties of Germanness that arrived and evolved in Latin America gained their clearest articulation. Because those schools were both centers of communities and nodes in a global pedagogical network that thrived during the interwar period, they provide us with great insight into a nexus of motivations that created German places in Latin America. Life around these schools also underscores the importance of studying immigrants and their things together.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyses West German foreign policy towards state terrorism in Chile and Argentina and towards political refugees fleeing these regimes. Pressured by grassroots activists, Willy Brandt's government took a hard stance against the Chilean military junta and established an asylum programme for refugees from Chile. Under Helmut Schmidt, however, the official attitude towards state terrorism changed. West Germany welcomed the military coup in Buenos Aires, accepted the Argentinean junta's position that repressive measures were necessary to fight ‘subversion’, flatly refused to accept any Argentinean political prisoners and approved billions of Deutschmarks worth of weapons sales to the junta. This article argues that Bonn's ambivalence towards state terrorism and uneven interest in human rights was due to the different attitudes of both Social Democratic Chancellors towards economic strategising, grassroots activism and, most importantly, the threat of left-wing terrorism.

Com vistas a analisar a representação literária dos desaparecidos-mortos pela ditadura civil-militar no Brasil, que ocorreu entre 1964 e 1985, este artigo estabelece um diálogo entre o poema “Os desaparecidos” (1984), de Affonso Romano de Sant’anna, e fotografias da obra Ausenc’as (2012), do argentino Gustavo Germano. Este último produziu uma série de fotografias sobre famílias que tiveram membros desaparecidos tanto na ditadura argentina quanto na brasileira. Ao analisarmos as obras poéticas verbal e não verbal propostas neste trabalho, observamos que a poesia e outras formas de arte visual desempenham um papel crucial para a literatura de testemunho, possibilitando não apenas a expressão criativa das experiências pessoais, mas também a compreensão mais aprofundada da realidade vivida. A fundamentação teórica sustenta-se na reflexão de estudiosos do campo da “literatura de teor testemunhal”, como Márcio Seligmann-Silva (2008), Jaime Ginzburg (2017) e Wilberth Salgueiro (2021).

Abstract: Cross-cultural comparisons are often based on a single itemset that is used in several cultures and languages being translated semantically correct. In contrast, a new, emic, approach measures the same construct with individually created items for each culture and language. To test this emic approach, the current paper used the stereotype content model (SCM) with its dimensions, warmth, and competence. It is used to compare perceptions of people, residing in different countries, speaking different languages. The current paper reports a study ( N = 2,901) that tests whether an adapted scale allows reliable and structurally valid measurement and comparisons of culturally emic protagonists on SCM dimensions across four languages (English, German, Portuguese, Spanish) in eight countries (United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal, Brazil, Spain, Argentina). The warmth dimension emerges as largely universal, but the competence dimension is a more culture-specific construct. Cross-cultural comparisons as to the competence dimension should be treated with care.

The present work is part of a project based in the Gino Germani Research Institute of the University of Buenos Aires called “The Argentine edition, between the State and the market”, and its objective is to reflect analytically on the current moment in the publishing world, considering the conjunctural transformations suffered by publishers in terms of economic impact, reprogramming of publishing plans, the initiatives undertaken by publishers and digital activism put into practice in this context. To carry out this objective, we present the results of a survey carried out among 131 publishers in Argentina in May 2020. The results allow us to describe the importance of the digital environment, social networks and digital activism in this new scene. As an example of digital initiatives, we will describe the collective projects “¡Sálvese quien lea!” and Feria del Libro en Casa.

Abstract This article investigates the notion of complexity as it applies to two phonological characteristics of Heritage Bernese Swiss German, namely /l/-vocalization and /nd/-velarization. We survey literature on the role of complexity in language change generally, as well as how it applies to heritage languages specifically. We then present findings from our study of two groups of Heritage Bernese speakers, one in the United States and one in Argentina, with additional reference to the local contact languages. Our findings suggest that the loss of /nd/-velarization in Misiones, Argentina is most likely the result of an internally-driven reduction of complexity. For both the Ohio and Misiones communities, however, /l/-vocalization has been maintained. We conclude by discussing the importance of research into language dyads beyond those in the United States as well as pursuing research on lesser-studied heritage languages.

This review is inspired by the dichotomy the authors observe in the ways Anglo and Mediterranean countries developed to control the risk. While countries as US, Germany and Holland are on the top of the risk-mitigation policies and bio-technology, others such as Spain, Italy and Argentina have left behind in the race. In this discussion the authors complement the contribution of Max Weber arguing that the sense of predestination, which was enrooted in Ancient Norse Mythology, was a criterion enough to develop the capitalism. However, this does not correspond with “the Reform”, but on the way ancient Germans celebrated the war. Unlike Greeks, Germans developed a sense of predestination to understand the future. At some extent, they were responsible for initiating the process of secularization, but once done, they appealed to technology for two peruses. On one hand, technology alluded to a control of the closed-future, but at the same time it allowed the implementation of steps to expand the life. On this context, terrorism (as a risk) is important for American society because it gives further value to capitalist mind, the control of future.

Recently, historical and migration studies have started to pick up the multiple contributionsof native and immigrant women to the construction of the Argentinian nation, especially bytheir participation in welfare, political and union associations. In this paper, we look intotwo groups of women, Jewish and German women in Argentina. We focus on three textsabout German immigration to Argentina, with the aim to find out which is the discursiverepresentation of women in these texts, which properties and activities are predicated aboutthem, and to which extend they appear with independence of other (male) family members.We detect that two texts support a 'traditional' representation, where women stay in thebackground and have hardly any function with independence of their husbands or teachers.The third text partly presents the same traits, whereas in other opportunities it highlightsfemale achievements.

Full textAbstract:
El artículo aborda los primeros tramos de la trayectoria de Germani en Argentina, con el fin de identificar el marco de experiencias y debates dentro de los cuales se configura su perspectiva intelectual sobre la sociología y el cambio social. Se sostiene la existencia en Germani de una matriz ideológica vinculada al socialismo liberal europeo de la época, que coloca la oposición autoritarismo vs. libertad como eje articulador de su discurso sobre las sociedades modernas. A lo largo de toda su trayectoria Germani mantiene, con adecuaciones, esta perspectiva para comprender los procesos sociales más relevantes de las sociedades latinoamericanas. Un primer ejemplo paradigmático lo constituye su análisis del fenómeno peronista en Argentina.

Full textAbstract:
Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) is a progressive and disabling disorder in large dog breeds, such as the German Shepherd dog. Breeding sires and dams free of dysplasia is the only way to reduce its incidence. Several diagnostic methods have been developed based on radiographic examination, on the basis of which dogs are selected for breeding. CHD has a polygenic hereditary basis and environmental influence, with a median to low heritability (ca. 0,20 to 0,40), so the progress in phenotypic selection has been slow. In Argentina, the prevalence of dysplasia in German Shepherd dogs remains high (> 25%) and it is impossible to predict its incidence in the offspring of the breeding stock. Some countries have implemented a selection based on the estimated breeding value, obtaining an important advance. Genome-wide association studies have revealed numerous CHD-associated markers and several candidate genes have been found that point to the possibility of implementing genomic selection in the near future. Key words: canine hip dysplasia, German Shepherd dog, phenotypic selection, genomic selection, estimated breeding value
