| Sumario: | The Leopoldo Brizuela Documentary Fund belongs to the Department of Archives of the National Library of the Argentine Republic "Mariano Moreno" takes care of a series of documents that were produced within the framework of the Writing Workshop of the Association of Mothers of Plaza de Mayo during the period 1990-1999. Brizuela, in his role as coordinator of the workshop and producer of the archive, and the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, authors of the literary stories gathered there, combined his efforts to imagine new possibilities to approach history and individual and collective memory. This work investigates the links between archival and writing practice considered as two aesthetic-political modes that, during the first decade of post-dictatorship, launched narrative forms against the grain of the hegemonic historiographical accounts. The figure of the archivist as translator, in the case of Brizuela; the problem of secrecy, loss and spectrality, around the archive and the concern of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo to build through the word an image and a history of themselves, as women and activists, constitute the main three nuclei of attention of this writing. |
