I10-R372-article-132352024-11-04T18:45:07Z Elias and the Holocaust. On the challenges of producing a sociological distanced knowledge from victims and perpetrators in Argentina Elías y el Holocausto. Sobre los desafíos de la producción de un conocimiento sociológicamente distanciado de las víctimas y los victimarios en la Argentina Vecchioli, Virginia Norbert Elias holocaust victims Argentina Norbert Elías holocausto víctimas Argentina In this paper, I will analyze the way in which Elias´s works, especially his book The Germans, constitute a crucial contribution to understand contemporary processes of political violence in Argentina, a subject matter approached from the academic local studies on memory by strongly prescriptive perspectives centrally engaged on the institutionalization of an emblematic memory about dictatorship. I´m interested in emphasizing the type of empirical questions that The Germans opens and the way in which a substantive appropriation – and not merely declarative – of Elias’ work would assume new intellectual challenges for the analysis of the Argentine case, especially in relation to the possibility to open and create new research issues and the expansion of temporal and spatial borders. I’m interested also on analyzing the dilemmas his work raises, as well as an academic and as a Holocaust’s victim, in terms of the construction of a sociologically comprehensive point of view. En este artículo me propongo explicitar la manera en que los trabajos de Elías y, en particular su libro Los Alemanes, constituyen un aporte clave para pensar los procesos de violencia política en Argentina, una temática abordada desde los estudios académicos locales por perspectivas fuertemente prescriptivas sobre el pasado reciente comprometidas centralmente con la institucionalización de una memoria emblemática de la dictadura. Me interesa destacar el tipo de preguntas empíricas que abre la lectura de Los Alemanes y la manera en que una apropiación sustantiva – y no meramente declarativa – del trabajo de este autor supondría nuevos desafíos para el análisis del caso argentino, especialmente en relación a la ampliación de los temas de análisis y de las fronteras temporales y espaciales que recortan el trabajo de campo. Me interesa abordar también los dilemas que plantea el trabajo de Elías, tanto en su condición de académico como de víctima del Holocausto, en la construcción de un punto de vista sociológicamente comprensivo de los conflictos políticos que atravesaron nuestra sociedad y las actuales lecturas académicas sobre el tema.
