The article tries to dismantle the research that I conducted, between 1999 and 2005, on fascist emigration to Argentina in the second postwar period and it tries to analyze it in the light of the transnational perspective that was affirmed in the migratory studies in those same years, that I had not used at the time. Even without using the term, my work did not fail to consider the links maintained by the emigrated fascists with Italy, which are at the center of this transnational approach, beyond investigating their links in the Italian community and Argentine society. The conclusion is that to study political actors and movements it seems more profitable to consider the contexts of their action than to focus exclusively on the transfer of ideas and practices.
