| Sumario: | This article analyzes the tensions between truth and justice in the formation of the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team and the paradoxical way in which it made sense to the restorative action which began during Nestor Kirchner’s presidency. For this, we focus on the work of the team around the N.N. buried bodies found in municipal cemeteries throughout the country from the eighties to the present. From the cross-analysis of written documents and oral sources, we observe how this tension organized the disputes around the meaning of the restorative action between 1984 and 1989 and the way in which its incomplete resolution transformed the work of the EAAF from the year 2003. This transformation made clear for the actors at stake the insufficiency of scientific truth and the partial nature of judicial reparation in order to give meaning to the anonymous deaths of the disappeared. |
