Memory and the river

espanolEl presente articulo propone un recorrido por el Parque de la Memoria (espacio conmemorativo de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, abierto hacia el Rio de la Plata, donde tantos cadaveres terminaron sumergidos), que entrecruza el tiempo del horror con uno que se pregunta que monumentos, que representaciones se pueden, se deben, ?se deberian?, erigir, ensayar, para dar cuerpo a lo sustraido. Preguntas que entablan un necesario dialogo con las ficciones de los H.I.J.O.S.(Hijos e Hijas por la Identidad y la Justicia contra el Olvido y el Silencio) de losdesaparecidos que comenzaron a producir sus propios relatos en los ultimosveinte anos. EnglishThis article takes the reader on a journey through Remembrance Park (the commemorative area in the city of Buenos Aires, which looks onto Rio de laPlata, where so many corpses ended up submerged) which intertwines the time of horror with a time that wonders which monuments, which representationscan, must, should (?) be erected, practiced, to give substance, body, to what has been taken away. Questions that require us to initiate a dialogue with thefictional works of H.I.J.O.S. (Spanish acronym for Sons and Daughters for Identity and Justice Against Forgetting and Silence, which coincidentally also reads as“children” in Spanish) of the desaparecidos (“missing people”) that started to produce their own stories over the last 20 years.
