CRISTIA, Moira  and  DE LA PUENTE, Maximiliano. Shards of Memories: Study of two life stories linked to the Intelligence apparatus of the Workers' Revolutionary Party. Rev. Pilquen. secc. cienc. soc. [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.4, pp.1-14. ISSN 1851-3123.

Due to the scarce documents and witnesses eager to talk about it, the Intelligence apparatus of the Revolutionary Workers' Party (PRT) is one of the least known sections of that political-military organization. This paper aims to address it by reconstructing two vital experiences related to it: the former director of El Cronista Comercial, Rafael Perrotta, an active collaborator of the aforementioned service, and Silvia Hodgers, dancer, militant and member of it. Perrota disappeared in 1977, while Hodgers suffered exile in Italy, Mexico and Switzerland, after their lives came across in the mid-seventies participating in an alternative political project. Through written and oral sources, as well as documentaries gathering different testimonies, we aim to assemble traces of one of the most secret areas of the political-military organization, considering that these particular life trajectories contribute to build a more complex image of it. We will reconstruct each one of the selected cases in the first two sections and, in the third section, we will systematize different contributions related to the Intelligence apparatus, in order to enrich the knowledge that has been developed in the last decades.
