SCOCCO, Marianela. Narratives and Solidarity of Transnational Human Rights Networks in Argentina. Secuencia [online]. 2020, n.108, e1807.  Epub 17-Feb-2021. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i108.1807.

Transnational networks to defend human rights became key vehicles in the transmission of human rights culture for organizations that emerged in Argentina between 1974 and 1979. They provided national complainants with a specific vocabulary to exercise their demands based on what has been called the “humanitarian narrative,” differentiating themselves from the “revolutionary narrative” that had marked the defense of political prisoners in the previous dictatorship (1966-1973). In this article I analyze, by way of comparison, this defense of political prisoners and subsequent human rights organizations, focusing on the change signified by the transfer from one narrative to another. I then use a local case to examine the fact that organizations in the city of Rosario were deprived of access to the financing, information, and influence that the trans-nationalization of claims and international impact provided for those in the capital.

Palabras llave : revolutionary narrative; humanitarian narrative; defense; solidarity; human rights.
