Abstract

GALANTE, Diego. Get Down to the Plaza, Mr. President: Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo and Alfonsín along Transitional Justice in Argentina (1983-1985). Prohistoria [online]. 2017, vol.27, pp.79-98. ISSN 1851-9504.

The author reviews the debates between Alfonsín's government and Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo organization, from December of 1983 to the end of 1985. Focused on transitional justice policy, such conflicts involved different themes, including legal aspects, political interpretations, and cultural representations about the past of political violence. As this paper shows, that debates involved multiple moments of approach and distance, until a final rupture after the Trial of the Military Juntas

Keywords : Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo; Alfonsín; Human rights; Transitional justice; Disappearance of people.
