Resumen

Transnational studies have burgeoned in recent years both in Latin American Studies (Roniger, 2025. and in Jewish Latin American Studies (Bokser Liwerant, 2025). While a major focus of these studies has been the role of networks and interactions within and across the Americas (Casaús Arzú y García Giráldez, 2005; Goebel, 2013; Roniger, 2022), the study of political exile and migration has projected the transnational optic beyond those boundaries, into Europe, Asia, Africa and even Oceania (Yankelevich y Jensen, 2007; Sznajder y Roniger, 2013; Oliva Medina y Moreno Rodríguez, 2018; Overmyer-Velázquez y Sepúlveda III, 2018; Feldmann, Bada, Durand and Schütze, 2023). The articles in this dossier can be seen as part of this growing interest in processes of transnational relocation. They are the product of an innovative teaching and research collaborative experience developed by Professor Hugo Simkin involving students in Argentina, Chile and Israel, which raise several important methodological and conceptual issues for transnational studies.
