| dc.description.abstract | After the fall of the repressive regime of 1976-1983 in Argentina, human rights groups have repurposed some the former detention centers used to systematically torture and murder 30,000 Argentine citizens into memorial sites. Controversy regarding approaches to memorializing state-sponsored terrorism has perpetuated alternating narratives about how to best process the ongoing effects of traumatic history have on modern Argentine and global culture. This essay serves to provide critical analyses of four sites of memory dedicated to the human rights violations that occurred under the Junta of Argentina, the narratives and cultural and political implications they currently produce, and their success at promoting the discourse that determines the relevancy of the genocidal period as a cultural trauma. | |
