La Archaeology in times of anger: the contribution of textiles in the reconstruction of genocide social practices (Pozo de Vargas - Argentina 1976-1983)

| Sumario: | When analyzing the genocidal social practices that took place during the last civic-military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983), it can be observed that the clothing has been used as one of the means for the construction of the subversive category (Salerno, 2007). Likewise, these textile materials are carriers of information about the events related to the kidnapping,captivity and disappearance of their bearers; and the processes that acted on these materials from their burial until their recovery. As a result of the archaeological investigations carried out by the CAMIT in a clandestine burial pit (Province of Tucumán - Argentina), a great quantity of human and textile bone remains has been recovered. Through genetic analyzes performed on human skeletal remains, the EAAF has managed to recover 148 genetic profiles, which allowed identifying nominally 108 arrested and disappeared companions. This paper presents the results achieved through the study of textiles. This approach offers us the possibility of elaborating an alternative discourse to the fragmentary and manipulated “official” history. In this sense, the most important contribution of this article is to write another history through the study of non-discursive forms of evidence such as material culture. |
