The speeches on responsibility In Argentina post-dictatorship

Abstract

In Argentina before the last dictatorship, the memory's work has articulated prac-tices of blaming which express the collective necessity of working through those traumatic past, the political struggle against oblivion and impunity and the imperative of building a moral community able to manage with its own history on the future. This paper is a initial and tentative exploration of the disputes about the narratives which intend to explicate the process of disappearance, especially those moral interpretations of the facts and the types of responsibilities charged. Finally, I try to link the way in which memory's work works out narratives about moral, political o historical responsibilities in order to deal with suffering, to recognize victims, to blame on, to build identity and the way in which these narratives evoke its own relation with those authoritarian past.
