Abstract
The author of the article makes a survey of the Diaspora situation and then analyzes the case of the Armenian-Argentinian community. He points out four periods. proto-Diaspora, pre-Diaspora, Diaspora and post-Diaspora. Fie states that two facts marked the birth of real Diasporan situation within the Armenians in Argentina, the failure of the repatriation to Armenia (1516-1948) - the end of the "myth of homeland return" - and the process of accelerated industrialization in Argentina, which prompted the host society to a forceful change from a traditional to an industrial society through a so-called "secularization" (ci. Argentinian sociologist Gino Germani's studies). In this mainstream, there have been periodical conflicts between pre-Diasporan power structure and minoritarian (even marginal) Diasporan groups since the 1960s'. The failure of the former to accomodate itself to the ever-changing reality of Armenian Diaspora has developed a process of growing stagnation and assimilation within the post-Diasporan sectors.
