| description |
For over three decades in Argentina, the families of the disappeared of the Military Dictatorship have engaged in political actions to demand “Justice” against human rights violations conducted during the repression. Legal paths to achieve penal liability have been opened since the annulment of the amnesty laws in 2005. Since then, the narratives concerning the past have definitely arisen —and been in dispute— in the Argentinean courts. Based on the ethnography of “trials for crimes against humanity”, the article analyses how victims, State agents accused of human rights violations and judicial actors have converted the courts into a privileged place for the assertion of meanings to the dictatorial past. The intention is to question how the judicial system is being developed into a place for disputes over the production of truth concerning the military dictatorship in Argentina, through an enchantment analysis of the politics and symbolisms that take into consideration the emotional and existential aspects of human action. |

An Ethnographical Perspective of Trials for Crimes Against Humanity As lutas pelas Memórias na cena judiciária: Uma perspectiva etnográfica sobre os Julgamentos de Crimes de Lesa Humanidade Las luchas por las memorias en la escena judicial. Una mirada etnográfica sobre los Juicios de Crímenes de Lesa Humanidad Sanjurjo, Liliana Memory Human rights Military dictatorship Politics Moralities Memoria Derechos humanos Dictadura militar Política Moralidades Memória Direitos humanos Ditadura militar Política Moralidade For over three decades in Argentina, the families of the disappeared of the Military Dictatorship have engaged in political actions to demand “Justice” against human rights violations conducted during the repression. Legal paths to achieve penal liability have been opened since the annulment of the amnesty laws in 2005. Since then, the narratives concerning the past have definitely arisen —and been in dispute— in the Argentinean courts. Based on the ethnography of “trials for crimes against humanity”, the article analyses how victims, State agents accused of human rights violations and judicial actors have converted the courts into a privileged place for the assertion of meanings to the dictatorial past. The intention is to question how the judicial system is being developed into a place for disputes over the production of truth concerning the military dictatorship in Argentina, through an enchantment analysis of the politics and symbolisms that take into consideration the emotional and existential aspects of human action. Desde o final da década de1970, os familiares de desaparecidos da ditadura militar argentina se engajam em ações políticas para exigir “Justiça” pelas violações aos direitos humanos cometidas durante a repressão. Com a anulação das leis de anistia em 2005, abriram-se os caminhos legais para a responsabilização penal. Desde então, as narrativas sobre o passado entraram definitivamente em cena (e em disputa) nos tribunais do país. Baseado na etnografia dos “julgamentos de delitos de lesa humanidade”na Argentina, o artigo analisa como as vítimas, os agentes do Estado acusados de violações aos direitos humanos e os atores do judiciário converteram os tribunais em lugar privilegiado para a afirmação de sentidos do passado ditatorial. A proposta é conduzir uma análise da política e seu simbolismo, que considere sobre tudo a dimensão afetiva e existencial da ação humana, para problematizar como a cena judiciaria vem se desempenhando como um espaço central de luta para a produção da verdade sobre a ditadura na Argentina. Desde fines de los años 1970s, familiares de desaparecidos de la dictadura militar argentina emprendieron acciones políticas para exigir “Justicia” por las violaciones de los derechos humanos cometidas durante la represión. Con la anulación de las leyes de amnistía en 2005, quedaron abiertos los caminos legales para la responsabilización penal. Desde entonces las narrativas sobre el pasado de violencia entraron definitivamente en escena (y en disputa) en los tribunales del país. Fundamentado en la investigación etnográfica llevada a cabo en los “juicios de crímenes de lesa humanidad”, el artículo analiza como las víctimas, los agentes del Estado acusados de violaciones de los derechos humanos y los actores judiciales han convertido los tribunales en lugar privilegiado para la afirmación de sentidos al pasado dictatorial. La propuesta es conducir un análisis de la política y su simbolismo, que considera sobre todo la dimensión afectiva, moral y existencial de la acción humana, para problematizar cómo la escena judicial se ha transformado en espacio de lucha para la producción de la verdad sobre la dictadura en Argentina.
