These images come from the application of biographical values that differ from each other, confirming that, in one of the documentaries, the narrative construction presents Mercedes Sosa's struggle in the present, while the other story proposes a projection of the future, in a world after the dictatorship. El objetivo del artículo es entender cómo dos documentales biográficos sobre Mercedes Sosa refractan la lucha de las Madres de Plaza de Mayo, detectando cuáles fueron las estrategias discursivas llevadas a cabo por cada documentalista y qué efectos produce esa aproximación que puede definirse como un “valor biográfico” (Bajtín, 1982). Metodológicamente, se recurre a un análisis del discurso que observa la construcción temática a lo largo de los dos documentales en estudio, analizados a la luz de las perspectivas analíticas derivadas del estudio de textos (Bajtín, 1982). Las conclusiones darán cuenta de la existencia de dos imágenes diferentes de Mercedes Sosa en relación con la lucha por los derechos humanos en Argentina. Dichas imágenes provienen de la aplicación de valores biográficos discrepantes entre sí: en uno de los documentales, la construcción narrativa comprendería su lucha de Mercedes Sosa, mientras el otro propone una proyección de futuro, proyectando un mundo después de la dictadura.

The objective of our reflection is to understand how two biographical documentaries about Mercedes Sosa refract the struggle of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, detecting which were the discursive strategies carried out by each documentary maker and what effects are produced by this approximation that can be defined as having a “biographical value” (Bajtín, 1982). Methodologically, discourse analysis is used to observe the thematic construction throughout the two documentaries in light of the analytical perspectives derived from the study of texts (Bajtín, 1982). The conclusions will account for the existence of two different images of Mercedes Sosa in relation to the struggle for human rights in Argentina.
