Panel title: Between academia, administration and activism: experiences of memorial reparation in Argentina.
Abstract: Fifty years on from the coup d'état that ushered in the last military dictatorship, this panel aims to provide a forum for exchange and debate on the various forms taken by initiatives to honour the memory of victims of state terrorism and to carry out documentary reparation of personnel files, undertaken by national universities and scientific and technical bodies in Argentina. The panel will analyse the challenges involved in reconstructing lists of those subjected to reprisals, the work carried out in the documentary restoration of the files, and the organisation of commemorative events. The aim is to foster joint reflection amongst colleagues who led these projects, to share the lessons learnt along the way, and to collaborate with other institutions wishing to undertake similar initiatives.
