Among them were many intellectuals and artists, typically of right-wing political conviction and of Christian faith. In Argentina, they founded a hermetic community that kept the Slovenian language and traditional values, and hoped that one day they could return. People in the former Yugoslavia knew nothing about them or their activities or indeed about events after the war from the point of view of the Other. This paper reviews the historical circumstances that led to the emigration, the organization of the émigré community and their cultural life in Argentina, their literature, mainly novels and their ensconcement in another time and space, which is the time and space of memory and an idealized homeland. They were culturally very active and wrote mostly in Slovenian. It was not until the second generation and after Slovenia%s independence when they published several works in Spanish. Mostly they wrote historical novels, memoirs, dealing with unhealed wounds years after the Second World War, exile, life in refugee camps, post-war killings. Many of the works are ideologically laden, moralistic and idealizing life in Slovenia before the War. Due to their close community, literary works are often subject to some kind of "(self) censorship". Nevertheless, after Slovenia's independence, albeit with a delay, some of their works, because of their aesthetic and cultural values have become part of the national literatary canon and school textbooksPo drugi svetovni vojni so mnogi politični emigranti odšli iz Slovenije v Argentino, med njimi vodje in pripadniki belogardistov, simpatizerji fašističnih sil, nasprotniki komunizma in njihove družine, ki jih je preganjal jugoslovanski socialistični režim ipd. Med njimi je bilo veliko intelektualcev in umetnikov, predvsem desne politične usmeritve in krščanske veroizpovedi. V Argentini so ustanovili hermetično skupnost, ki je ohranjala slovenščino in tradicionalne vrednote ter upala, da se nekega dne vrne. Živeči v takratni Jugoslaviji o njih, njihovem delovanju in povojnih dogodkih s stališča Drugega nismo vedeli nič. Prispevek je pregled zgodovinskih okoliščin, ki so povzročile izselitev, organizacij in kulturnega življenja izseljencev v Argentini, literarnega ustvarjanja, predvsem romanopisja, in njihove ujetosti v drug čas in prostor, ki je čas in prostor spominov in idealizirane domovine. Bili so kulturno zelo aktivni. Pisali so večinoma v slovenščini. V drugi generaciji in po osamosvojitvi Slovenije je bilo izdanih več del tudi v španščini. Velika večina romanov je zgodovinskih, memoarskih, obravnavajo pa nezaceljene rane, kot so leta po drugi svetovni vojni, pregnanstvo, življenje v begunskih taboriščih in izvensodni povojni poboji. Številna dela so ideološko obremenjena in moralistična ter idealizirajo življenje v Sloveniji v predvojnem času. Zaradi zaprtosti in ideološkosti skupnosti so bila literarna dela velikokrat pod vplivom %(samo)cenzure%. Kljub temu so nekatera dela po osamosvojitvi Slovenije, resda s časovnim zamikom, zaradi svojih estetskih in kognitivnih vrednot postala del nacionalnega kanona in šolskih učbenikovTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta
