BERMUDEZ, Natalia Verónica. "They Must Have Done Something...". An Analysis of the Moral Strife in the Access to the Status of the Relative in Cases of Violent Deaths (Córdoba, Argentina)"Teriam feito alguma coisa...". Uma análise sobre as discussões morais no acesso à condição de ativista militar em casos de mortes violentas (Córdoba, Argentina). Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2016, n.25, pp.59-73. ISSN 1900-5407. https://doi.org/10.7440/antipoda25.2016.03.
The figure of the relative (especially the mother) has recently been gaining legitimacy in Argentina during the process of claiming justice for victims of violent deaths. It has also played a vital role in the social sciences. This article aims to analyze the moral strife that limits the access to the status of "family activist" in popular sectors, one that has been scarcely problematized in academia. The text is part of a comparative ethnographic research that has been developed since 2007 that deals with family, social and political relations linked to violent deaths in popular neighborhoods of Córdoba (Argentina). The ethnographic journey, on one hand points outs how the appealing to figure of the mother in order to legitimize her political intervention tends to reinforce the moral accusations that it seeks to transcend. On the other hand, it seeks to reflect on the exclusion of deaths that are thought to be circumscribed outside "political contexts".
