Programme
After revisiting the main moments and works of the artistic-literary reworking 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 with artistic products such as performances and photographic exhibitions to be analyzed through tools and methodologies related to the most recent studies on post-memory and post-testimony. At first, the main concepts that make up the theoretical apparatus will be presented, then the works in the program will be analyzed and discussed. The final lessons will be dedicated to a reflection on literature as an archive of political and social violence and on its teaching in the context of recent studies on "pedagogy of memory".Core Documentation
