The second edition of “Recent Stories of Córdoba,” compiled by Silvia Romano, updates and expands the list of students, graduates, teachers, and non-teaching staff of the UNC who disappeared and were murdered in the 1970s as a result of illegal repression and state terrorism. This edition also strengthens the section of images recovered from audiovisual records of Canal 10 and Canal 12 in Córdoba and the bibliography and sources consulted.
As Silvia Romano points out in her foreword to this second edition of “Recent Stories of Córdoba,” in the four years between the first publication in November 2013 of Recent Stories of Córdoba—now out of print—and the digital version presented here, progress has been made in various aspects of research into the biographies and public careers of people from Córdoba who disappeared and were murdered in the 1970s as a result of illegal repression and state terrorism.
These advances warrant the updating, expansion, and dissemination of the list of students, graduates, faculty, and staff of the National University of Córdoba (UNC) contained in this volume. This was facilitated by the review of new documentation in the archives of the UNC and other universities in the province for the 1960s and 1970s, namely: the Catholic University of Córdoba (UCC), the National Technological University – Córdoba Faculty (UTN), and the National University of Río Cuarto (UNRC).
The continuity of the research, which included consultation of other sources, contributions from family members, as well as testimonies given at the Mega causa La Perla trial, made it possible to improve the knowledge gained in the historical reconstruction of the group of victims of repression that we published in the book Colectivos y parcialidades políticas y sociales. Los desparecidos y asesinados de Córdoba en los 70 (Political and social groups and factions. The disappeared and murdered of Córdoba in the 1970s).
This volume brings together texts that address somewhat diverse dimensions and issues, which warrant the use of “histories” in the title of the book, as they constitute visions focused on specific historical processes, areas, and time periods and propose perspectives on certain actors of the past, or emphasize making visible the “backroom of research” that allows them to construct their contributions. They can also be thought of as pieces of a puzzle with no pretensions of composing the whole, united by political history and human rights in a broad sense. Even though the disciplinary backgrounds of their authors are diverse, they share the purpose of historicizing aspects of the recent past and the motivation to know, understand, and interpret it on their own terms.
