The objective of the study is to characterize the Slovak community in the northern Argentine province of Chaco, which was formed between 1923 and 1935 in the town of Saenz Peña and its surroundings. Approximately three-quarters of the Slovak immigrants in Chaco came from Slovak minorities in Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria, which were established there during the 18th-19th centuries. The different natural, economic, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural conditions in the Chaco province caused discontinuous trends to become dominant in the ethno-cultural development of the Slovak colonists. Their consequence was the emergence of the Argentinian variety of the Slovak dialect. There was also an economic transition from the family subsistence farming to farming whose production was dictated by the demands of the market.

MÝTUS BUENOS AIRES V DIELE J. L. BORGESA

EN
The author explores the forming of the myth of Buenos Aires and its modern symbols in the work by Argentinean writer J. L. Borges. In the first part she points out the influences that formed Borges´s work with regard to this aspect and identifies the differences between Borges ś urban poetic and the poetics of “flȃnerie”. The second part introduces Borges´s poetic programme of “urban creolism” that brought to literature the motif of compadrito, the urban “descendant” of gauchos. She indicates that this programme also involved mythologisation of Buenos Aires that resulted from a mix of Borges ś memories, immigration and historical facts. The third part analyses the cult of courage embodied in compadrito, the protagonist of milongas and tangos. She also affirms that in the course of time the exclusively Argentinian themes in Borges ś writings acquire universal philosophical dimension and thus Buenos Aires become dreamlike and labyrinthic. These observations are substantiated with fragments of Borges ś poetry and prose.

The study introduces the history of the Slovak-language press in Argentina. In a chronological overview, it introduces 20 Slovak periodicals published mainly in Buenos Aires between 1929 and 2003. The Slovak interwar emigration formed its institutions in broad connection with institutions of Czechs, while the post-war political exile established a distinct political line with strong Slovak nationalism. The post-war elite expanded the production of the Slovak press abroad and Buenos Aires became one of the main centres of the Slovak post-war exile in the late 1940s and early 1950s but struggled to include the voice of inter-war numerous immigrants. The study includes a bibliographical references and index of Slovak periodicals published in Argentina, as well as, short history of each title, its editorial, and references it is stored.

This paper aims to provide basic data that will contribute to this understanding. For this purpose, the general Argentine census, and statistical data on transoceanic immigration to that country and the regulatory, political, and ideological frameworks are presented, always considering the communities of interest and their sending and receiving states. In a parallel and complementary way, we present the questions that emerge from these data and that are related to the guiding questions of the research project that convenes us and that are proposed for future research work.

Among the countries of the Americas Argentina ranked second, after the United States, in the number of immigrants received from Europe between 1820 and 1932. The majority of the European newcomers came from Italy and Spain, but hundreds of thousands of others arrived from Eastern Europe. Ukrainians were among the largest groups, who came from the eastern part of the European continent. Tens of thousands of Ukrainians came to Argentina in three separate waves: 1897-1914, 1920-39, and 1946-50. Although a fourth wave of immigration from Ukraine took place after independence was gained in 1991, this essay focuses on the first three waves of 1897-1950. During the course of those approximately five decades, the settlers came with Austro-Hungarian, Russian, Polish, Romanian, and Czechoslovakian passports. They also entered Argentina with other documents (e.g. Nansen passports), though much less frequently. Most of the immigrants came from the Second Polish Republic (from the regions of Galicia and Volhynia) in 1920-39. The majority of the Ukrainian immigrants were of rural background and many of them settled as farmers, especially in the northern border regions of Argentina. Others worked in meatpacking plants and in other industries. Immigration after World War II concerned more people with tertiary education. This essay provides an overview of the characteristics of each of the first three waves of immigration, and discusses the organizations created in Argentina by the immigrants.

The Slovak and Czechoslovak communities in Argentina are now predominantly made up of Argentines who reflect their Slovak or Czechoslovak origins. The existence of these communities is the result of migration processes that took place in the first half of the 20th century. The form and content of the current cultural creation, identification, and revitalization processes are the results not only of intergenerational transmission but also of their cultural invention. These are determined by the ethno-cultural characteristics of the surrounding environment, as well as by state policy and nation-building processes. What motivates these people to have minority ethnic identification and activity in communities formed by their ancestors on ethnic lines? What cultural elements and phenomena do they interpret (traditionalize, create, revitalize) as representative ethno-identifying and ethno-differentiating tools and why?

The agricultural activities of the original Czechoslovak colonists and their descendants in the Chaco province of Argentina are carried out on the family farm, the chacra. The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the development of the chacra as an independent productive and economic unit in the rural zone and to sketch selected specificities of farming on the area of the family farm. In terms of time, I focus on the period from the early 1920s (when the migration of Czechoslovaks, or Moravians, Czechs, and Slovaks to Argentina became more massive) to the present.
