Between ethnic and political identifications: The Jewish stuff inside the "national and popular" field

The paper analyzes the links that have been established between the Jewish stuff and the "national and popular" field taking as a case study the origins of the organization called "LlamamientoArgentinoJudio". The paper inquiries into the precedents of the Llamamiento and into the overall context of mingling between politics and Judaism throughout Cristina Fernandez's second term. Trough document analyzes looking at inductive identification of frames the paper analyzes the meanings that have been projected by the Llamamiento throughout its first public interventions. In-deep interviewing complements our analyzes. We find that ethnicity and politics overlap each other in a way that differ from the ways that used to be observed in research agenda: It is not a matter of struggling for the rights or visibility of ethnics but the portraying of the political conflicts inside the Jewish collectivity. The making of this representation of the Jewish stuff articulate with political conflict in the national scale. The paper allows us at analyzing how the members of the Llamamiento dwell both the ethnic and the political field while activating the same cognitive frames.
