The strong political and cultural investment in the printed word that took place within the ArgentineJewish cultural world throughout the twentieth century was particularly intense and rich in the arc of theideological left. Thus, based on a lengthy work of record and systematization of Jewish periodicals printedin Buenos Aires along the twentieth century, the article focuses on the analysis of the left-wing periodicalspublished between 1900 and 1953. In this regard, it proposes a mapping of the diversity of enterprises, andfrom it a first outline of periodization from which it is possible to reach the general features of the emergencyand the socio-historical transformations of a specific area of Jewish left-wing publications. In this sense,the text describes the contours of a dense universe of production, circulation and consumption of symbolicgoods structured on two languages and consisting of a diverse set of cultural and political actors locatedin the country and abroad. The objectification of this space through a cartographic approximation like theone propposed here opens an area of research problems and hypothesis not yet explored.
