After carrying out an ethnographic approach to the documents, I ask myself about the different elements -words, marks, euphemisms- around the bodies and corpses enunciated in the texts. As a result of this field work, in this article I specifically ask myself about the possibility of considering the same ethnographic work on files produced in the 70s as an act of (re)construction of ‘memories’. If we could state that the forms of writing on the bodies constitute "traces" of these materialities, then, what kind of "traces" do the documents refer to in the present? On the other hand, I focus reflexively on thinking of the archives themselves as three dimensions that make and configure disputed memories: The Provincial Archive of Memory as a site for memory; the practice of archiving as work destined to the production of ‘memories’ and the morgue files as archives that also make the configuration of states logics of the recent past. El siguiente artículo se enmarca en el trabajo de campo realizado para mi tesis doctoral en el Doctorado de Ciencias Antropológicas, en el transcurso de 2017 y 2018, con sobres de morgue ubicados en el Archivo Provincial de la Memoria de Córdoba correspondientes al periodo del 1º al 31 de enero de 1975 y del 1º al 31 de marzo de 1976. Luego de realizar un trabajo de aproximación etnográfica a los documentos, me interrogo sobre los distintos elementos -palabras, marcas, eufemismos- en torno a los cuerpos y los cadáveres enunciados en la escritura. A razón de este trabajo de campo, en el presente artículo me interrogo específicamente sobre la posibilidad de considerar al mismo trabajo etnográfico sobre archivos producidos en los 70 como un acto de (re)construcción de ‘memorias’. Si pudiésemos plantear que las formas de escritura sobre los cuerpos constituyen “huellas” de dichas materialidades, entonces, ¿A qué tipo de “huellas” refieren los documentos en el tiempo presente que aquí nos convoca? Por otra parte, me centro reflexivamente en torno a pensar en los archivos mismos como tres dimensiones que hacen y configuran memorias en disputa: El Archivo Provincial de la Memoria como sitio de memoria; la práctica de archivar como trabajo destinado a la producción de ‘memorias’ y los sobres de morgue como archivos que hacen a la reconstrucción de las lógicas estatales de la época.
