ABSTRACT

In postdictatorial Argentina, the labors of memory are a highly public and political concern, and one of the most salient topics in contemporary narrative and lm is the memories from the Dirty War ( 1976-1983). Parallel to the commemorations of thirty years of democracy in 2013, the trials of the militaries responsible for the abduction and disappearance of what has been estimated at 30,000 people continued, alongside the inexhaustible search for their children and grandchildren, carried out by the Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo since 1977.
