Resumen
Este artículo analiza cómo se dirimen, en el presente, las disputas en torno a la representación de la última dictadura argentina (1976–1983) a través de prácticas artísticas desarrolladas en lugares de memoria de la ciudad de La Plata (provincia de Buenos Aires). El objetivo es examinar las decisiones estéticas, los procesos de debate colectivo y los desafíos pedagógicos implicados en la producción de dos murales emplazados en instituciones de salud pública. Metodológicamente, se adopta un enfoque cualitativo que articula trabajo de campo, entrevistas y análisis iconográfico de las obras. El abordaje se organiza en tres dimensiones interrelacionadas -estética, procesual y pedagógica- que permiten comprender tanto las elecciones formales como las tensiones surgidas durante su elaboración y en sus proyecciones de transmisión pública. Los resultados muestran que las disputas sobre la representación del horror no se resuelven únicamente en el plano teórico, sino en procesos concretos de negociación entre actores con expectativas diversas. Asimismo, se advierte que la dimensión pedagógica, central en estos espacios, tiende a recibir menor reflexión que las discusiones estéticas, lo que incide en las condiciones de inteligibilidad de los murales en el espacio público.
This article examines how contemporary disputes over the representation of Argentina’s last dictatorship (1976–1983) are negotiated through artistic practices developed in sites of memory in the city of La Plata, Buenos Aires Province. The aim is to analyze the aesthetic decisions, processes of collective debate, and pedagogical challenges involved in the production of two murals located in public health institutions. Methodologically, the study adopts a qualitative approach combining fieldwork, interviews, and iconographic analysis of the artworks. The inquiry is organized around three interrelated dimensions -aesthetic, procedural, and pedagogical- which make it possible to understand both the formal choices and the tensions that emerged during their production and in their projected modes of public transmission. The findings show that disputes over the representation of horror are not resolved solely at the theoretical level but unfold through concrete processes of negotiation among actors with diverse expectations. Furthermore, the pedagogical dimension, central to these spaces, tends to receive less reflection than aesthetic discussions, which affects the conditions under which the murals become intelligible in the public sphere.
