LOS SILENCIOS Y LAS PALABRAS: EL TESTIMONIO COMO POSIBILIDAD

Abstract

In the following article the limits and possibilities of testimony as a way for understanding recent events is analyzed, and, particularly, the experience of State Terrorism. Themes are studied that traverse distinct testimonial narratives: shame, guilt and silence. In the framework of the boom of memory and the testimonial turn, political-academic disputes around the notion of historical truth and its relation to memory are analyzed.
