Ethographic research files : there will be no flowers on the grave of the past : the experience of rebuilding the world of the relatives of the disappeared
Keywords:
Human Rights, DictatorshipsSynopsis
This publication is based on the documentary collection produced as a result of research conducted with relatives of disappeared persons in La Plata between 1996 and 1999. It includes interviews, field notes, photographs, recordings of public events, material from the private archives of relatives of the disappeared, documents, and primary sources such as newspapers, magazines, and clippings, creating a new and dynamic way of accessing the research by framing the material using excerpts from the book No Habrá Flores en la Tumba del Pasado (There Will Be No Flowers on the Grave of the Past), which was originally a doctoral thesis. It is a connective ethnography that, as the central themes of the research are presented, generates and proposes: links, connections, openness, and interaction with the original research documents, located in the UNC's open Suquía system, and builds links with other media present in the networks that show the extent of actions, practices, cartographies, and monuments in memory of those who disappeared during state terrorism in Argentina.

Chapter V | Truth and JusticeIf the reversal of the world caused a puzzle in people's lives, baffled them, and introduced a category such as “disappeared,” the territories mark the new spaces of belonging, identity, conquest, as well as beliefs and expressions that contribute new pol
