The small nucleus that constituted the local anthropological community made contributions in a context of restricted spatial margins, and exercised some influence over their methods of studying aboriginal communities in the Argentinean territory. Those local figures were integrated to the international anthropological community, although in an asymmetric way, and were also part of dense horizontal and vertical academic networks  beyond their native country. Thus the analysis of the Handbook  turns to be a tool which allows us to understand the unequal relationships among different academic traditions and also the ways in which several ideas circulated among different national traditions by mid 20th century. Cuando en la década de 1940 se reflotó la publicación del Handbook of South American Indians  un grupo de antropólogos argentinos fue convocado para colaborar en esta obra que intentó sistematizar el conocimiento de pueblos aborígenes de gran parte del territorio americano. El pequeño núcleo que componía la comunidad antropológica local realizó sus aportes dentro de estrechos márgenes espaciales y dejó su marca acerca del modo en que estudiaban a los pueblos indígenas del territorio argentino. Estos referentes locales estaban integrados -aunque en forma asimétrica- a la comunidad antropológica internacional y formaban parte de densas redes académicas horizontales y verticales fronteras afuera. El análisis del Handbook  aparece entonces como una forma de comprender las relaciones desiguales entre las distintas tradiciones académicas al promediar el siglo XX y los modos en que circulaban las ideas entre las distintas tradiciones nacionales. Quando a publicação do  Handbook of South American Indians foi retomada na década de 1940, um grupo de antropólogos argentinos foi chamado para colaborar nesse trabalho, que buscava sistematizar o conhecimento sobre os povos indígenas de grande parte das Américas. O pequeno núcleo que compunha a comunidade antropológica local contribuiu com estreitas margens espaciais e deixou sua marca na forma como os povos indígenas da Argentina eram estudados. Esses especialistas locais foram integrados -ainda que assimetricamente- à comunidade antropológica internacional e formaram parte de densas redes acadêmicas horizontais e verticais além de suas fronteiras. A análise do Handbook surge, portanto, como uma forma de compreender as relações desiguais entre diferentes tradições acadêmicas em meados do século XX e as formas como as ideias circulavam entre diferentes tradições nacionais.
