| Sumario: | In this work I argue that, in the “theater of operations” of the Operation Independence, a “war” was staged, appealing to nationalist values that obviously sought to generate social adhesion in relation to this military action. I argue that this staging was revealed as the most propitious scenario to hide that, behind the scenes, thousands of Tucumanos were being exterminated and disappeared, in particular because scenes of a “showable” repression could be staged there, while thiswas not what happened in the clandestine detention centers. Parallel to the use of violence, military personnel gradually accumulated repressive experience with regard to the forced disappearance of persons. It was in this sense that it can be stated that, in the south of Tucumán, military authorities tested this new repressive modality, which after March 1976 could be moved and deployed in other parts of the country. |
