Violencia política y terrorismo de Estado en la Argentina de la década de 1970

The study of political violence and State terrorism in the 1970s is an important issue on the public agenda and social sciences of the Argentina. The dramatic acts that occurred and its lasting consequences justify its past, current and future importance. From a social and cultural history of the war approach, this article proposes a critical interpretation of the historiography on the issue, focusing on the analysis of the perspectives and experiences of "military combatants" and "revolutionary fighters". As a hypothesis holds that although in those years the Argentine State and other States ignored the existence in the country of an "internal war", "civil war" or "non-international war", this does not inhibit the possibility of investigating situationally, in their own terms, senses and rationalities, the points of view of those who were considered to be protagonists of a specific form of "war" which was called "revolutionary", "counterinsurgency", "popular prolonged", "of national liberation". Since this historiographic approach is expected to contribute to the definition of new questions, problems, objects and research hypothesis.
