Abstract:
This essay analyzes two processes built by and from political violence: the last military dictatorship in Argentina and Francoism in Spain. Both processes reveal the workings and dynamics of a repressive system, its results and its repercussions in the present. In the case of Argentina, this work looks into the social and political contexts in which women-led Human Rights Social Movements surged, and their strategies to demand justice and information about the women’s relatives, in a context marked by political violence, kidnappings, torture and the 'disappearing' of people. The text also analyzes the struggle to rebuild justice during the return to democracy, as well as the memory of State Terrorism and its effects in the present. The essay then examines the Spanish case, pointing out the reasons why the struggle for the reconstruction of justice and the memory of Francosim's repression has specific characteristics, both during Franco's government and during the transition to democracy. In order to understand the political and legal responses and the reactions of social groups, the victim’s families and the female gender across time, this essay explains how the oppressors practiced and inserted violence in the social fabric
