GARANO, Santiago. El conocimiento antropológico en el marco del Proceso de Memoria, Verdad y Justicia. Reflexiones sobre una experiencia como “testigo de contexto” en el marco del Juicio “Operativo Independencia (primera parte)”. Sociohistórica [online]. 2018, n.41, pp.50-50. ISSN 1852-1606.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/18521606e050.

In this work I am interested in reflecting on a new figure that has been gaining presence in trials for crimes against humanity developed since 2005: that of the "context witness", that specialist -generally of the social sciences- who is presented as a witness and whose contribution is taken as testimonial evidence (Abbattista, Barletta & Lenci, 2016). For this, I will rely on my participation in the oral and public trial "Operative Independence (first part)", in which I stated about my doctoral research on the experience of soldiers conscripted in the south of Tucumán during the said Operation, between 1975 and 1977. In particular, I will argue that the social sciences can provide minute reconstructions of the logic of repression that help us understand how the exercise of state terror was possible.

Keywords : Trials for Crimes against Humanity; Context Witness; Operative Independence; Anthropological Knowledge.
