| Sumario: | This article makes a political genealogy of the symbolic-material consequences that both the Operation Independence and the military dictatorship had in the province of Tucumán. Understood by the military as a true “theater of operations”, the province would be subjected to an unprecedented state of emergency, which would make it the laboratory for testing genocidalmethodologies that would be applied in the whole country once the coup d’état occurred. Therefore, to analyze the specific case of this province, we propose the concept of “necrolugar”, in the sense of a specific area in which death and terror served as tools and devices to deconstruct Argentine society. To answer these questions, the first part of this article will bedevoted to analyzing the use of terror as a device of control and social domination. Next, we will address the spatial, daily and symbolic modifications that the military occupation executed to submit the province of Tucumán. From there it will be questioned about the possible memory traces that these necrolugares contain within them and that they necessarily projecttowards our present. |
