Research stay in Argentina. Detention and torture centres

REPERCRI researchers Vicente Sánchez Biosca and Jaume Peris Blanes have made a brief research stay in Argentina, in the framework of the PROMETEO project “From crime scene to place of memory”. In Buenos Aires they presented and discussed the provisional results of the project at the IDES Memory Studies Centre and visited sites of memory such as the ExESMA or the ExOlimpo, interviewing those responsible for the design and organisation of these spaces. In Cordoba they participated in the International Congress “The subjects and places of memory between the 20th and 21st centuries”, presenting partial results of the project and visited the former repressive centres of La Perla and ExD2. They also had the opportunity to participate in research sessions with local groups and to directly consult the Provincial Archive of Memory and, especially, the “register of extremists” carried out by the last dictatorship.
