Este trabajo se propone contribuir a una mejor comprensión de la dimensión política de la identidad de clase media en Argentina, a través del análisis de una imagen que apareció con cierta insistencia luego de 2001: la de un ''17 de Octubre de la clase media''. La curiosa imagen y los desplazamientos en sus sentidos, desde su primera aparición hasta sus usos más recientes, es interpretada reconduciéndola a dos contextos. Por una parte, el de los cambios socioeconómicos, políticos e identitarios que la sociedad argentina experimentó a partir de la década de 1990. Por la otra, el del trauma que la irrupción del peronismo produjo en 1945, cuyos efectos todavía persisten en la cultura nacional. La imagen del ''17 de Octubre de la clase media'' se interpreta así como una fantasía de superación del horizonte peronista por obra de un evento similar al que en 1945 protagonizaron los más pobres, pero esta vez encabezado por la clase media. ; This article seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the political dimension to middle-class identity in Argentina, by analyzing an image that appeared after 2001: that of a ''17th October of the Middle Class''. This curious image, and the shifts in its meanings from its first introduction to its most recent manifestations, is interpreted by locating it into two different contexts. On one hand, the socio-economic, political and identity changes that Argentine society experienced during and after the 1990s. On the other hand, the longer context of the trauma that the emergence of Peronism produced in 1945, which still casts effects on Argentina culture. The image of the ''17th October of the Middle Class'' in thus interpreted as a fantasy of closing the Peronist political horizon, by replicating the event that opened it in 1945, this time with the middle (and not the working) class in the leading role. ; Fil: Adamovsky, Ezequiel Agustin.

This article analyses the emergence of a non-diasporic "negro" identity in Argentina in the past three decades, as a reaction against discrimination of the poor on "racial" grounds. Although this discrimination is not new, the narrative of the white-European nation sponsored by the State made it almost impossible to confront it, or at least not openly. However, the weakening of the Nation-state as the aftermath of economic and political crisis opened up a new space for renego­tiating the definition of the Argentinean ethnos. By examining different manifes­tations of lower class culture - from the spread of afro-Brazilian religions to mur­gas in carnival, and from popular music to political appeals - this article explores the ethnic dimension to class identities in recent Argentinean history. The emerg­ing "negro" identity is interpreted as a metonymic mark in a class identity, rather than an ethnic identity properly speaking. ; Fil: Adamovsky, Ezequiel Agustin.
