Università Roma Tre

By reviewing the main moments and works of the artistic-literary re-elaboration of political violence in Argentina during the years of the military dictatorship (1976-1983), in a perspective that places Argentine authoritarianism within a broader Latin American framework, the course aims to present students artistic and literary products, to be analyzed through tools and methodologies connected to the most recent studies on post-memory and post-testimony. At first, the main concepts that shape the theoretical apparatus will be presented, then the works in the program will be analyzed and discussed. The concluding lectures will be devoted to a reflection on literature as an archive of political and social violence and its didactics in the context of recent studies on the "pedagogy of memory".
