Resumen
En el artículo se analiza de qué manera los modos en que se llevó a cabo la transición a la democracia en Argentina, Chile y Uruguay influenciaron en la posibilidad de juzgamiento de las responsabilidades por los crímenes cometidos, elemento fundamental en cualquier modo de elaboración colectiva de la experiencia. Asimismo, advierte que las diversas posiciones ante la posibilidad de justicia presentes en los tres países —que, sin embargo, coincidirían luego tanto en un modelo de impunidad durante la década de los noventa como en el fuerte cuestionamiento a dicho modelo hacia fines de dicha década y comienzos del siglo XXI— también se estructuraron en modos de construcción de la memoria matizados, que dieron cuenta de modos diferenciales en sus estilos pero coincidentes en su trasfondo, ya que implicaban el bloqueo de la posibilidad de elaboración de la experiencia del horror por parte de la generación que lo había experimentado.
Between the years 1973 and 1989, the countries of the southern cone of Latin American underwent an abrupt and traumatic transformation of their social relations, by means of the implementation of military dictatorships which, based on the logic of the Doctrine of National Security implemented in the region by the United States since the 50’s and on the teachings of the French doctrines of counter-insurgence, deployed a concentrationist apparatus which bound up each of these societies. The core of these practices was based on the kidnapping —in most cases, clandestine— of thousands and tens of thousands of people and subjecting them to different forms of torture in environments that worked like concentration camps. In addition, in Uruguay, hundreds of people were killed; in Chile, the killings numbered in the thousands; and in Argentina, more than 20,000. The processes of “the transition to democracy” —1983 in Argentina, 1985 in Uruguay and 1989 in Chile— brought into discussion the problems of the manners of construction of memory, its connection to the possible “elaboration” of the traumatic consequences, the role of the judges and the levels of treatment of the different parties responsible for those actions.
