GALANTE, Diego. Between “Inaccurate Obedience” and “Anti-Subversive War”: Discursive Strategies of the Armed Forces in the Trial of the Juntas. Secuencia [online]. 2019, n.103, e1372.  Epub 01-Jan-2019. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i103.1372.

The paper analyzes the discourse constructed by the members of the Argentine Armed Forces during the “Trial of the Juntas” of 1985, a judicial event that, in the context of the transition to democracy, sought to review the responsibilities of the highest military authorities for human rights violations committed during this dictatorship. Within this framework, the characteristics of these discourses and the types of stories they constructed about the political violence of the past are analyzed, as well as the relationship established between these interventions and the judicial scene. Lastly, in light of these results, we reflect on the potential of transitional judicial scenes to become fields conducive to the public crystallization of disputed social knowledge.

Palavras-chave : Trial of the Juntas; Argentine Armed Forces; political violence; discursive strategies; transitional justice.
