Clandestine operations to suppress 'subversion' in the population included the enforced disappearances of 30,000 Argentines. Objects including forensic reconstructions, statistics, and a commission's report, were used to establish the truth of the 'Dirty War' in Argentina's transition to democracy. Here, boundaries between objects and experience are problematized as the intangibility of experience is transformed into tangibility that purports to achieve truth and justice. Given the techniques of science and law used to make these objects 'speak,' important questions arise regarding how these representations interact with the question of human agency and inter-subjectivity. Drawing on Levinasian phenomenology and Derridean post-structuralist theory, primary human rights documents, and secondary literature on the political violence, this paper examines these interactions and what justice and truth means in the face of violence. n Acknowledgements Thanks where many thanks are due ...

To broach, much less settle on, a firm understanding of this social reality can make you feel like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.1 In its 1983 transition to democratic rule, Argentina was faced with the challenge of affecting a break with a violent past that would allow social and political relations to begin anew. This break simultaneously required a reckoning with the events that had gone before, and a promise of justice and stability for the future to come. The violence to be acknowledged by this process was the result of the imposition of a very different type of order to address an economically and politically unstable past. Seven years prior, in March of 1976, a military junta had seized power by way of coup and had instituted their own vision for Argentina's political and social system. Framed in a rhetoric that promised economic and political stability, the military's reign instead yielded unprecedented state- sponsored violence. As the basis of their power they relentlessly persecuted individuals using an amorphous conception of 'subversion.' Abduction, torture, and rhetoric were the mainstays of their rule. The term 'Dirty War' was used by the military to denote that they were battling guerilla warfare with its attendant tactics such as kidnappings and Avery Gordon, Ghostly Matters: Haunting and the Sociological Imagination (Minnesota: University of Minnesota Press, 2008) at 64. 1 2 murders.2 Its use has been maintained by scholars, Argentines and journalists as it is useful stressing that it was a war waged against the population, and further that it was one without declaration, and therefore resisted temporal, spatial and material location. During the seven year period, the population, its collective memory, and the means it used to understand itself was indelibly marked by the state sponsored violence. While the junta was initially welcomed as a means of instituting stability in the face of serious political and social unrest, their increasing violence eventually forced people into hiding in their helplessness while the spectacle of the military's power played itself out in full visibility before them. The use of enforced disappearances throughout the junta's reign of power peaked during the years of 1976 to 1978.4 The victims, thought to total thirty thousand,5 were 'disappeared' by the military to Centros Clandestinos de Detention (Clandestine Detention Centers), interrogated and tortured, and their corpses were disposed of in mass graves or thrown from airplanes into the ocean. The military junta began to lose its hold over the country beginning in the early 1980s due to a combination of increasing international pressure and human rights protest, as well as a growing economic instability. The regime had failed in its war against 'subversion' by any standard and regardless of whether the 'subversion' it aimed to 2 Argentina's National Commission on Disappeared People (CONADEP), Nunca Mas (Never Again): A Report by Argentina's National Commission on Disappeared People (London: Faber and Faber Limited, 1986) at xiii. 3 Marguerite Feitlowitz, A Lexicon of Terror: Argentina and the Legacies of Torture (New York: Oxford University Press, 1998) at 32. 4 Equipo Argentino de Antropologica Forense (EAAF), "EAAF 2000 Annual Report" (2000), online: <http://eaaf.tvpepad.com/pdf72000/04Argentina2000.pdf> at 10. 5 The disputed number of disappeared in Argentina is a politically contentious issue.

Title of Thesis/Project/Extended Essay Author: -. - rJ (date) -.-.--ABSTRACT This thesis is designed to explain, through political and historical analysis, a phenomenon identified by scholars of pol- itical development as the "Argentine Problem". Argentina is seen as a paradox, a nation which does not display the political stab- ility commensurate with its level of socio-economic development. The work also seeks to examine the origins and policies of the most serious manifestation of dictatorial rule in the nation's history, the period of military power from 1976 to 1983.

  • 180203 the Argentine Military and the Antisubversivo Genocide
    Journal: GSI; Volume 11; Issue: 2 DOI: 10.3138/gsi.11.2.03 The Argentine Military and the “Antisubversivo” Genocide DerGhougassian and Brumat The Argentine Military and the “Antisubversivo ” Genocide: The School of Americas’ Contribution to the French Counterinsurgency Model Khatchik DerGhougassian UNLa, Argentina Leiza Brumat EUI, Italy Abstract: The article analyzes role of the United States during the 1976–1983 military dictatorship and their genocidal counterinsurgency war in Argentina. We argue that Washington’s policy evolved from the initial loose support of the Ford administration to what we call “the Carter exception” in 1977—79 when the violation of Human Rights were denounced and concrete measures taken to put pressure on the military to end their repressive campaign. Human Rights, however, lost their importance on Washington’s foreign policy agenda with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and the end of the Détente. The Argentine military briefly recuperated US support with Ronald Reagan in 1981 to soon lose it with the Malvinas War. Argentina’s defeat turned the page of the US support to military dictatorships in Latin America and marked the debut of “democracy promotion.” Keywords: Proceso, dirty war, human rights, Argentine military, French School, the School of the Americas, Carter Page 1 of 48 Journal: GSI; Volume 11; Issue: 2 DOI: 10.3138/gsi.11.2.03 Introduction: Framing the US. Role during the Proceso When an Argentine military junta seized the power on March 24, 1976 and implemented its “ plan antisubversivo ,” a supposedly counterinsurgency plan to end the political violence in the country, Henry Kissinger, the then United States’ Secretary of State of the Gerald Ford Administration, warned his Argentine colleague that the critiques for the violation of human rights would increment and it was convenient to end the “operations” before January of 1977 when Jimmy Carter, the Democratic candidate and winner of the presidential elections, would assume the power in the White House.

  • Between Revolution and the Ballot Box
    Between Revolution and the Ballot Box This is a comprehensive study of the formative years of the Argentine Radical Party in the 1890s. Through its analysis of the party the book also sheds light on the dynamics of Argentine politics at the end of the nine- teenth century. Founded in 1891, the Unión Cívica Radical, generally known as the Radical Party, is the oldest national political party in Argentina and one of the two parties that dominated the country’s politics during the twen- tieth century. As a central component of Argentina’s political history, the Radical Party has received much attention from historians. However, most accounts have concentrated on the period after 1916, when the party won its first presidential election; the formative years of the party have gener- ally been ignored. Yet as the strongest opposition party during the 1890s, a pivotal decade in the birth of Argentina’s party system, the Radical Party effected a critical development in Argentine politics, defining a system of open confrontation and political competition. This study offers not merely a revised version of the party’s story but also a new perspective on the nature of the Radical Party and of the politics of the period as a whole. Paula Alonso completed her doctorate at Oxford University in 1992. Cur- rently she is Assistant Professor of History at Universidad de San Andrés, Buenos Aires. She has published on elections, the press, political party for- mation, and the history of ideas in nineteenth-century Argentina in inter- national journals and has also collaborated on edited books.
