Resumen
En el presente trabajo se elabora un análisis de un testimonio en el Juicio por la Verdad en la ciudad de Mar del Plata (provincia de Buenos Aires), juicio llevado con motivo de la última dictadura en Argentina. La declaración tiene lugar en el año 2001, época en la que todavía la memoria, verdad y justicia son cuestiones que se buscan desde posturas marginales frente al olvido, el silencio y la impunidad que propugnan las políticas oficiales. La hipótesis de trabajo radica en que el testimonio constituye un espacio simbólico de cierta reparación ante a los hechos vividos, a través de la elaboración de las ideas de justicia que tiene el testigo. En este sentido, el testimonio se convierte también en metatexto que reflexiona, en su propio interior, sobre cuestiones atinentes a los juicios y la justicia en general respecto del pasado traumático.
In this article, an analysis of a testimony from the Truth Trial of Mar del Plata is developed. This trial was carried out after the latest Argentina’s dictatorship (1976-1983). The testimony took place in 2001, period during which the so called “impunity laws” were still in force. In that period truth and justice were matters followed by alternative positions facing oblivion, silence and impunity, imposed by official policies. The hypothesis of this research lies in the fact that testimony becomes a symbolic space for redress in relation to the experienced. Reparation is possible thanks to the possibility of telling the story and own experience, so who gives testimony can formulate his or her own ideas of justice. Testimony also becomes a meta-text that reflects, in its own interior, on questions pertaining to trials and justice regarding the traumatic past.
