Abstract
GATTI, Gabriel. Victims' language: (noisy) silences and (grave) parodies to talk (unknowingly) about individuals' forced disappearance. univ.humanist. [online]. 2011, n.72, pp.89-109. ISSN 0120-4807.
Based on the results of research carried out between 2005 and 2008 about social universes constructed in Argentina and Uruguay around the figure of the disappeared detainee, this piece aims to systematize several answer to one the more complex problems this repression figure bears: that of representation of facts and their consequences. This work focuses no on all possible answers, but on several of the more innovative and creative: those betting on talking about the impossibility to talk (the noisy silences), and those betting on forcing language up to its limit (grave parodies).
Keywords : Individual forced disappearance; representation (crisis of); identity; Argentina; catastrophe; parody; silence.
