I10-R10-article-186772022-08-24T15:42:57Z Conmemoration and justice demands about the death of a senegalese leader in Argentina Conmemoración y demandas de justicia en torno a la muerte de un líder senegalés en Argentina Monkevicius, Paola conmemoration institutional violence afrodescendants african migrants memorias conmemoración violencia institucional afrodescendientes migrantes africanos In this article we propose to explore the public senses about the death of the senegalese activist Massar Ba (understood to mean a racist crime) from the colective integrated by Africans and Afrodescendants in Argentina, in particular the meaning that the event acquires in the conmemorative movilization context. Based on the etnographic fieldwork, we analize the construction process of subaltern memories and its relation with the “new” ways of blackness visibilization in Argentina. Specifically, through Massar Ba case, we observe how the remembering of racist and institutional violence acts in the afroargentine present to dispute whiteness hegemonic and equality narratives and therefore to demand historically denied rights. In this process we consider that Afrodescendant leaders have a privileged position to determine the parameters aimed at recalling the racialized otherness. En el presente artículo analizamos los sentidos públicos que se producen, transmiten y disputan acerca de la muerte (entendida como crimen racista) del activista senegalés Massar Ba por parte del colectivo conformado por inmigrantes africanos y afrodescendientes en Argentina, en particular el significado que adquiere este acontecimiento en el contexto de una movilización conmemorativa. A partir del trabajo etnográfico realizado en este marco indagamos sobre los procesos de construcción de memorias subalternas y su relación con las “nuevas” formas de visibilización de negritudes en Argentina. Específicamente, a través del caso de Massar Ba, observamos cómo la recordación de la violencia racista e institucional opera en el presente de los afroargentinos para disputar narrativas hegemónicas de blanquedad e igualdad y, en consecuencia, demandar por derechos históricamente negados. En este proceso consideramos que los sectores de liderazgo afrodescendiente ocupan una posición privilegiada para fijar los parámetros tendientes a la recordación de la alteridad racializada.

In this article we propose to explore the public senses about the death of the senegalese activist Massar Ba (understood to mean a racist crime) from the colective integrated by Africans and Afrodescendants in Argentina, in particular the meaning that the event acquires in the conmemorative movilization context. Based on the etnographic fieldwork, we analize the construction process of subaltern memories and its relation with the “new” ways of blackness visibilization in Argentina. Specifically, through Massar Ba case, we observe how the remembering of racist and institutional violence acts in the afroargentine present to dispute whiteness hegemonic and equality narratives and therefore to demand historically denied rights.
