| Sumario: | This paper presents a analysis of discourse expoused in the Documento Final de la Junta Miliar sobre la guerra contra la subversión y el terrorismo (hereinafter referred to as Documento). The historical relevance of this text and its Reading, 40 years after the democratic return in Argentina, is seen in two of its features. On the one hand, in the structuring of the content, which allows thematization of a variety of contextual events and referring to extensive historical periods without anchoring them in defined times and spaces. In the setting of a self-sacrificing declaration of principles, the story of 'the facts' is assumed with the aphorizing tone of a decalogue. From here the military voice sanctions the order to which acceptable memory practices should conform in the imminent democratic period. The second feature of the Final Document is that of the generic scene that it restores. As in previous dictatorial cycle ends, a military enunciator displays his authorization for the official word for the last time. This, which was not the last word, once again occupies the official stage to describe this parenthesis in democracy, transmit its teachings, and set the terms of a granted democracy. |
