Los textos que Hannah Arendt dedicó al judaísmo, alrededor de temas como la patria y el nacionalismo, la pertenencia cultural y la cuestión sobre las personas sin estado, constituyen más una exposición de paradojas que textos cerrados. Escéptica en lo que se refiere tanto al asimilacionismo como al sionismo, Arendt aboga por la secularización de la política mientras desmonta la lógica del estado-nación, ya que para ella la común historia de exilio y desposesión abre la vía para la unión de judíos y palestinos, de inmigrantes y apátridas, abriendo el camino al pensamiento judío respecto al concepto de justicia. ; The text Hannah Arendt devoted to Judaism, centered on topics like the homeland and nationalism, cultural belonging and the question of stateless people, are exhibitions of paradoxes rather than close texts. Skeptical about both assimilationism and Zionism, Arendt defends the secularization of politics while she dismantle the logics of the state-nation, as, to her, the common history of exile and dispossession sets the path for the union of Jews and Palestinians, of inmigrants and stateless people, and enables Jewish thought about the concept of justice.

The Jewish Cemetery in Coro City, unique in Venezuela, keeps historical and cultural values; and it is an example of the aesthetic wealth associated to the Guzmancismo, the same as the European influence in the Venezuelan Statuary, allowing a better understanding of the XIX and XX Century in the City of Coro and the Region. This Cemetery, still in use, was rescued for the City of Coro by the Asociacion Israelita of Venezuela together with government representatives who in 1.970 rehabilitated this precious monument, part and parcel of the collective heritage of the State of Falcon. The Cemetery was formally declared Cultural Patrimony by the Miranda Municipality on December 5, 2003; and on July 20, 2004, it was declared Historical Monument by the State of Falcón. At the present time the Fundacion del Patrimonio Cultural Hebreo Falconiano and the Universidad Nacional Experimental Francisco de Miranda are developing studies in order to include it in the International Network of Cemeteries considered National Heritage places.Cementerio Judío de Coro – Coro (Venezuela); Cementeries – history - Coro (Venezuela); Cultural heritage – Coro (Venezuela); Sephardim - social life and customs - Coro (Venezuela) ; Único en Venezuela, el Cementerio Judío de Coro guardavalores históricos y culturales, además de una muestra de lariqueza estética asociada con el guzrnancíerno-y la influenciaeuropea en la estatuaria venezolana, lo cual permite unavisualización más compleja de los siglos XIX y xx en dicha ciudady su región de influencia geohistórica.

This work analyses the experience of the jewish agrarian colonization in Colonia Clara, the most important of the colony settlement in the Entre Rios' Province. It studies the expectations and demands of the settlers, its social, cultural and politic institutions. The voices of the colonists settled on Entre Ríos virgin lands, the confrontations with the settlement company to become a chacarero land owner, the deception of those that were win over by the nature or the economic regime, the reach of the mutual help institutions, scholar and religious institutions are taken into account to explain other reasons of the colonies abandonment. ; El trabajo analiza la experiencia de la colonización agraria judía en Colonia Clara, la más importante de las colonias asentadas en la provincia de Entre Ríos. Retoma las expectativas y demandas de los colonos, sus instituciones sociales, culturales y políticas. Se retoma la voz del colono asentado en las tierras vírgenes entrerrianas, los enfrentamientos con la empresa colonizadora para convertirse en chacarero propietario de la tierra, el desasosiego de los que fueron vencidos por la naturaleza o por el régimen económico, los alcances de las instituciones de ayuda mutua, los establecimientos escolares y las entidades religiosas para explicar también las otras razones del abandono de las colonias.

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.

"Journalistic probe of the terrorist attacks against the Israeli embassy and the Jewish central association (AMIA). Criticizes governmental investigations and raises a number of questions concerning the authors of the motivations and circumstances surrounding the bombings. Does not offer convincing answers, but documents the inadequacy of governmental performance, raises doubts about Iranian participation, and suggests Syrian involvement"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57

The article provides an overview of the sexual violence against women in the concentration and extermination camps through the testimony offered by the survivors. Women suffer a specific kind of violence with a double meaning: political and symbolic. For this reason, the sexual violence must be analyzed as a category of analysis that incorporates a gender perspective. The article is divided into two distinct and interdependent parts. First, it analyzes the nationalist discourse about the Nazi model of femininity based on the concepts of motherhood and racial purity. Secondly, it studies the adaptation of this model of normative femininity to the eugenic and racial policies carried out in the camps. The research has focused exclusively on sexual violence against Jewish women because the relevance of the "Project Final Solution" in the National Socialism politic. ; El artículo ofrece una visión general de la violencia ejercida sobre las mujeres en los campos de concentración y exterminio nazis a través de los testimonios ofrecidos por las propias supervivientes. Las mujeres, por el simple de serlo, padecen un tipo de violencia específica que tiene una doble significación: política y simbólica. Por ello la violencia sexual deba ser analizada como una categoría de análisis propia que incorpore una perspectiva de género. El artículo se estructura en dos partes diferenciadas e interdependientes. En primer lugar y a modo de introducción se analiza el discurso nacionalsocialista acerca de su modelo de feminidad basado en los conceptos de maternidad y pureza racial. En segundo lugar, se estudia la adaptación de ese modelo de feminidad normativa a las políticas eugenésicas y raciales realizadas en los campos de concentración y exterminio. La investigación se ha focalizado mayoritariamente en la violencia sexual ejercida sobre las mujeres judías por la relevancia que el nacionalsocialismo concede a la «Solución Final».

"Three geopolitical essays criticize Argentina's recent foreign policy from a nationalistic perspective. Believes that Menem's abandonment of traditional Peronist policies and his option for Western alignment were the result of a 'brilliant plot planned and executed by the Jewish-North American lobby and the British and Israeli secret services' and calls for a new role to be played by nationalistic army groups in formulating and implementing independent policies. Representative sample of the unbalanced views held by these military groups and their civilian allies who opposed Alfonsín's and Menem's foreign policies"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57

Los efectos cuantitativos de la Shoá (término generalmente traducido como Holocausto), objeto de numerosos análisis y especulaciones, han sido muy poco explorados con métodos demográficos rigurosos. La primera parte de este artículo pasa revista a los principales factores que deben ser examinados en su totalidad para establecer dichos efectos en la población judía, a corto y largo plazo. La segunda sección ofrece proyecciones demográficas sobre la situación de la población judía en el mundo, en el caso hipotético de que el Holocausto no hubiese ocurrido. El análisis aquí presentado, obviamente especulativo, está basado en numerosos supuestos, más allá de los sugeridos por el autor. Los resultados de proyecciones alternativas revelan que, debido a las generaciones que no nacieron, la alta mortalidad infantil en época de guerra y el envejecimiento actual de la población judía, las pérdidas demográficas continúan extendiéndose mucho más allá de los seis millones de víctimas directas.

Las nociones de "normalidad" y "florecimiento" se transformaron en un tópico central de las interpretaciones en torno de la actitud de la dirigencia de la "comunidad judía argentina" durante la dictadura militar. Más para impugnar las prácticas de quienes estuvieron al frente de las instituciones centrales que para indagar en torno de qué significó que la "vida judía" estuviera signada por patrones de "normalidad" y "florecimiento". Pero ¿por qué debería sorprendernos las categorías de "florecimiento" y/o "normalidad" del funcionamiento de la vida institucional judía durante el contexto dictatorial? ¿Acaso sería correcto señalar los registros de vida "normalizada" en un contexto signado por el estado de excepción? Si los estudios sobre la dictadura se han centrado en explicar el carácter represivo del régimen, no sería un problema menor comprender cómo es que un actor –supuestamente sensible a la implementación de las políticas persecutorias– pudo desarrollar una vida pública sin sentirse amenazado. El presente trabajo intentará establecer de qué se trató el "florecimiento" y la "normalidad" de la vida institucional en dictadura, problematizando cómo algunos espacios actuaron como subterfugios de las prácticas políticas, culturales y sociales que contrastaron con el modelo cultural sostenido por el régimen militar. Pero a su vez, permitirá poner en escena un problema que tampoco puede ser considerado menor: el registro de la diversidad de temas frente a los cuales debieron posicionarse los actores –no sin enfrentamientos, en muchas oportunidades– evidenciará que estos no fueron interpelados solamente por los temas de la agenda "política nacional". Lo que podría denominarse la "agenda institucional y/o judía", concentró en muchas oportunidades su atención. ; The notions of "normality" and "blooming" became a central topic of interpretations about the attitude of the "Jewish community's leadership" during the military dictatorship. These concepts were used more to contest the practices of those who were at the head of the central institutions, than by a will to understand the meaning that these patterns of "normality" and "blooming" actually had for "Jewish life". But, why should this presence of the concepts of "blooming" and/or "normality" in the daily functioning of Jewish institutional life within the dictatorial context be surprising at all? Would it be right to focus on the "normalized" aspects of life precisely within context defined by a state of exception? Given the fact that most studies about the military dictatorship have focused on the repressive dimension of the regime, it would not be a minor issue to reach an understanding of how a social agent allegedly sensitive to implementation of persecutory policies, could develop a rich public life without feeling particularly threatened. This paper will attempt to establish what these notions of "normality" and "blooming" actually meant for Jewish institutional life during the dictatorship, and to identify some spaces that acted as subterfuges, of political, cultural and social practices which contrasted with the cultural model supported by the military regime. But it will also attempt to shed some light on a problem that cannot be understated: the acknowledgment of the diversity of issues that the main institutional agents had to take side on –many times not without internal struggle-, showing that they were not solely influenced by the agenda of the "national political sphere", but also by what could be defined as the "institutional" or "Jewish agenda", to which the main actors devoted in many cases most of their attention. ; Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación

During the 1994-2000 administration, Mexico's diversification strategy in foreign policy explored possibilities in the Middle East. To illustrate this, several cases are studies: The reevaluation of the peace process in the Middle East & of relations with Palestine authorities; reevaluation of relations with Israel & Lebanon, & evaluation of the Persian Gulf-Arabian conflict. Because of matters having to do with international stability, the regional conflicts have repercussions on Mexico, because of its proximity to the US; impact on the oil market, which is vital to Mexico; & the number of Mexicans -- Jewish & Lebanese -- whose origins are in the Orient. However, Mexico's trade with this region, which has historically been erratic & circumstantial, continues to face serious obstacles. Beyond the viability of a commercial exchange, this region poses serious problems in international law, whose doctrinarian defense has always been essential to Mexico's foreign policy.
