La memoria como espacio de disputa entre dos tiempos. Concepciones sobre la sexualidad, el deseo y el cuerpo en las narrativas militantes del PRT-ERP

Abstract

In this work we intend to inquire about the revolutionary militant superficiality resulting from the seventies, since we consider that there was a deconstruction of female agency and domesticity. We believe that this behavior was forged in a stage of conflict and social change. Our main source of analysis is the testimony of men and women of an armed organization of the 1970s: PRT-ERP (Revolutionary Party of Workers-Revolutionary Army of People) which made its appearance in Argentina around 1965 and disappeared from the national scene in 1977 due to the intense repression that hit the country during those years. They are activists who developed their militancy in different regions of Argentina. Our purpose is to focus on their stories (especially) on how they experienced sexuality and desire by dabbling in how they think normative sexuality. Understanding that identities are not unique but temporal and permanently traversed by multiple factors which (re)create them, we consider that militants’ memory would be subject to new meanings from the present.
