| Opplysninger | Introduction: Unsettled pasts, contentious presents -- Memory matters : towards a definition of the commemorative site -- A tale of two transitions : shifting impunity in the long aftermath of state repression -- Of memorials and victims : liminal sites of homage in buenos aires and montevideo -- Returning to the scene of the crime(s) : transformative trajectories of sites of state terrorism -- Transitory transmissions of memory in Argentina and Uruguay : the ebbs and flows of the escrache and recent iterations -- Conclusion: Fragile memory, shifting impunity : fissures, entrepreuners and sites in comparative perspective.. - "Fragile Memory, Shifting Impunity is an interdisciplinary study of commemorative sites related to human rights violations committed primarily during dictatorial rule in Argentina (1976-1983) and Uruguay (1973-1985). Taking as a departure point the 'politics of memory'--a term that acknowledges memory's propensity for engagement beyond the cultural sphere--this study shifts the focus away from the exclusively aesthetic and architectural readings of marches, memorials and monuments to instead analyse their emergence and transformation in post-dictatorial Argentina and Uruguay. This book incorporates the role of state and societal actors and conflicts underpinning commemorative processes into its analysis, reading the sites within shifting contexts of impunity to explore their relationship to memory, truth seeking and justice in the long aftermath of dictatorship"--Provided by publisher.
