description Can documents, used to control and subjugate native indians when creating the Nation State, also be used to “draw up” their life histories? This paper presents an analysis on what happens when material documents, that have been appropriated and managed within the confines of an archive, are put into another context and their very presence triggers a reflexive attitude on the past held in its material memory. The analysis is divided into two phases, the first involving readings under erasure (sous rature) of the archive produced by the missionary dispositif since the late nineteenth century to the late twentieth century, and a second stage involving the working-through of indigenous memory. This second stage focuses on the readings made on the remains of this archive by some members of the indigenous communities (mapuches and tehuelches) in Las Heras, province of Santa Cruz, Argentina. We traced the reflexive process initiated when people were faced with these objects in their own spaces. Following Walter Benjamin on the disruptive nature of objects, we found that these recollections break with the dominant memory and allow other historical narratives, associated with the object, to come forth that had otherwise been repressed.
