GALANTE, Diego. Political Identities and Transitional Justice. Representations of the Desaparecidos in the Trial of the Military Juntas of 1985 in Argentina. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2020, n.58, pp.87-110. ISSN 0121-5167.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.espo.n58a05.

This article analyzes the modalities of construction of the identities of the victims of State terrorism during the oral hearings of the Trial to the Military Juntas of 1985 in Argentina. It aims to clarify the ways in which the judicial context and the cultural and political context interacted in these processes of meaning; elements that have been addressed separately in former researches. The study states that there were articulations and tensions between the legal genre, the judicial context, the discourses of the moral order and the cultural, and political situation. Accordingly, the study also states that the knowledge of this experience can shed light on the challenges that arise in other transitional justice processes. A qualitative methodology is adopted, based on the thematic analysis of judicial records, in-depth interviews, and press materials. Among the main findings are the two complementary trends in the case study: justice.
