Memories and human rights in dispute: the business representatives and the hermeneutics of oblivion in the political sphere of Argentina and Paraguay (2013-2018): Array

Abstract

Memory and human rights are presented as elements of political dispute in the desire to build hegemony. The work presents, using as a technique the discourse analysis and the interpretive-descriptive approach in a comparative perspective, how the hermeneutics of forgetting in Argentina and Paraguay are gestated from the rulers of the second decade of the 21st century from elites who own large companies. It also shows how, from the beginning, the memory of the victims of the repressive past begins to be displaced, placing in the center the “memories of the repressors” because they are more in line with the economic approach they implemented in their governments during the period studied and the conservative ideological affinity possessed by the military dictatorships of the 20th century.
