- W652491790 abstract "For 30 years human rights groups have struggled for justice in Argentina. ‘We areborn in their struggle and they live in ours’, thus goes the mantra of the secondgeneration activists. In 1995, hijos, the children of the disappeared, murdered,unlawfully imprisoned and exiled victims of the 1976-83 civil-military dictatorship,decided to participate and created the association H.I.J.O.S. (Children for Identityand Justice, against Oblivion and Silence). Coming to the field in 2010, I arrived intoa context radicalized through activism, campaigning, and a heightened level of legalactivity in a temporality of post-transitional, pro-human rights. In this symbolic,discursive, and legal space of justice members of H.I.J.O.S. demonstrate why theviolent past counts as genocide and promise not to forgive, not to forget, nor toreconcile. With their activism during the Escrache – H.I.J.O.S.’ practice of socialcondemnation and street justice – and in the current trials for crimes againsthumanity, the second generation strives to recover their disappeared parents’political identity and create their own belonging from absence.This thesis presents a detailed ethnographic reading of the dynamics of justice in posttransitionalArgentina. Pursuant to complex and sometimes conflicting research onthe nature of these concepts, this thesis focuses thus on the meaning and impact ofH.I.J.O.S.’ struggle over the past 18 years. The theoretical cornerstone of the work isan interrogation of the way in which post-memories are constructed, lived, andnegotiated by members of the second generation thereby a demonstration of theproductive quality of genocide and absence that bears new ontologies and politicalsubjectivities. In holding an ethnographic mirror up to these experiences and hijos’political agency, this thesis goes beyond prevailing studies of transitional justice andgenocide and explores the productivity and creative power of violence unleashed byactivated post memories. With the concept of ‘absence’ as a motor for justice thisthesis shows how hijos use their post memories to subvert a traumatic heritage andregain ownership of justice." @default.
