Abstract

During the last dictatorship in Argentina, the detained- disappeared were forcibly moved across the territory. The main goal of this article is to analyse what kind of space was produced in and by those transfers. The core of the analysis is based on in-depth interviews done with survivors of concentration camps, relatives of disappeared people and political activities of the 70s. This ethnographic work had allowed me to tackle the following characteristics of this "space on the move": (1) the possibility to orient in a "withdraw world"; (2) the disturbed body and their distorted perception; (3) the epistemological status of adjectival truths; and last, (4) the way in which the space of transfer is guess on community
