La Red de Familiares contra la Tortura y otras Violencias Estatales (CPM): sangre y reencantamiento del activismo.

Abstract

In February 2017, the Family Network against Torture and other State Violence was constituted, which brings together a wide and diverse group of groups under the orbit of the Provincial Commission for Memory (Buenos Aires, Argentina). In this work we problematize how different figures and established meanings of the activism of victims in the field of human rights are resigned from repertoires, symbols and experiences from the religious world (Catholic, in this case) that stress the notion itself of "family", "community of blood" and "militancy". These tensions and emerging new senses highlight a process of reincarnation of human rights activism, socially constructed as a secularized space.
