Sumary
Memory discourses and politics appeared in Argentine, in the 1990s, following the movement of Human
Rights of the previous decade, which carried an imprint of social reappropriation of the common.
The escraches burst into scene as a way of seeing the discourses of politics, memory and justice
from other perspective, a way of thinking and acting them in forms different of those
institutionalized. The ‘escrache’ formulated questions, through those discourses, that summoned the
body of society, allowing the production of its own symbols and accounts, which gave place to
collective identities and memories that went the opposite direction of the dominant culture
mainstream. The purpose of this text will be to analyze the experience of the ‘escrache’ as a
political action of resistance. |
