La vida cotidiana en el centro clandestino “Olimpo”. Interacciones entre detenidos-desaparecidos

This study analyzes, from a new viewpoint, the way the “El Olimpo” illegal detention center operated between August, 1978 and January, 1979 during the last Argentine military coup (1976-1983). For such purpose, this study analyzes its daily dynamism, focusing on the interactions between detainees-disappeared people and the elements that shaped such interactions, based on a qualitative analysis of oral and written sources. The main conclusions point out that, although distrust among the detainees underlay, comradeship prevailed; and that socialization bonds were the main collective resistance mechanism, since they allowed the detainees to survive and restore part of the subjectivity grabbed by the repressive regime.
