Sin Facundo no hay Nunca Más. Trayectorias, contiendas morales y opacidades en la producción social de una víctima "no inocente" en Córdoba (Argentina)

Abstract

Who are left out of the organizations that are constituted to demand justice? How are classifications and social hierarchies built around the relatives of victims? In what ways are some deaths and disappearances recorded as a problem and collective drama in Argentina? In this article, I show how the disappearance of a young man from the popular sectors in the city of Córdoba (Argentina) and the claims of his family began to take shape politically, by analyzing the trajectories involved and the particular arrangement of the networks with human rights organizations. In the framework of this process I analyze, on the one hand, the way in which kinship happens to be constituted as an organizing principle that enables to establish the articulations of repertoires and demands between a recent past and a democratic present. And, on the other hand, I wonder how the disappearance was legitimized in various social, academic and political spaces, managing to transcend the construction of the judicial case, linked to horizontal violence, private order. Beyond the opinion of Justice, the disappearance, as an unfinished death, constantly updates the struggle and re-emphasizes the responsibility of state agencies. Finally, based on ethnographic work and from a class perspective, I problematize the implications of the inclusions, exclusions and frontiers that the categories of kinship institute.
