While most previous academic studies focus on the geopolitical and macroeconomics dimensions of the relations between Argentina and China, this book shows at a micro-social level the multiple facets of the economic, political and social influence of China in Argentina. The book presents ethnographic studies of encounters of actors and negotiation of identities from Argentina and China in companies, schools, restaurants, hospitals, districts, public and private institutions in Argentina. Themes discussed in the ethnographies include: identity struggle and strategic uses of culture in Buenos Aires' s Chinatown; teaching Chinese as the first foreign language or teaching it as a heritage language in a bilingual school; the contested production of images of Chinese authenticity in Chinese restaurants; the connections and contestations between so-called "Western medicine" and so-called "Chinese Traditional Medicine" and the conflictive relations between Chinese expatriate bosses of Chinese state-owned enterprises and their Argentinean employees. Maximo Badaro is Researcher at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET, Argentina) and Professor of Social Anthropology at the Universidad Nacional de San Martin (UNSAM, Argentina), where he is also the director of the Bachelor Degree Program in Social Anthropology. 001444096 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 16, 2022). 001444096 651_0 $$aChina$$xRelations$$zArgentina. 001444096 651_0 $$aArgentina$$xRelations$$zChina. 001444096 651_0 $$aArgentina$$xCivilization$$xChinese influences. 001444096 651_0 $$aChina$$xCivilization. 001444096 651_6 $$aArgentine$$xCivilisation$$xInfluence chinoise. 001444096 651_6 $$aChine$$xCivilisation. 001444096 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001444096 7001_ $$aBadaró, Máximo,$$eeditor. 001444096 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030924211$$z9783030924218$$w(OCoLC)1283139408 001444096 830_0 $$aHistorical and cultural interconnections between Latin America and Asia. 001444096 852__ $$bebk 001444096 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-92422-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001444096 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1444096$$pGLOBAL_SET 001444096 980__ $$aBIB 001444096 980__ $$aEBOOK 001444096 982__ $$aEbook 001444096 983__ $$aOnline 001444096 994__ $$a92$$bISE
