GARANO, Santiago. "BREAK THE STOREFRONT TO SEE WHAT'S BEHIND": FEELINGS, MORAL VALUES, AND ACTS OF "RESISTANCE" AMONG POLITICAL PRISONERS IN VILLA DEVOTO JAIL DURING THE LAST MILITARY DICTATORSHIP IN ARGENTINA (1976-1983). hist.crit. [online]. 2010, n.40, pp.98-120. ISSN 0121-1617.

In this article, we reconstruct the power relations that were woven inside Villa Devoto Jail, where more than 1,200 political prisoners were concentrated during the last military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983). On the one hand, we show how, in this space, the penal regimes and the forms of "resistance" of the detained militants became intertwined. And on the other, we examine how the political and symbolic hierarchy among different groups was determined and how this, in turn, shaped the partisan mandates in which the prison experience was lived.
