The construction of the right to identity from the Higher Education Level”, with the purpose of making visible the virtual academic repository managed by the National University of José Clemente Paz (UNPAZ), together with Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), the National University of Moreno (UNM), the National University of Avellaneda (UNDAV), the National University of Quilmes (UNQ) and the National University of Tres de Febrero (UNTREF) to call for the second edition of the CHRONICLES COMPETITION on visits to the Sites of Memory of State terrorism during the last civic-military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983).
The aim of this call is to contribute to the cultural and informational construction of content that helps to promote the collective memory of state terrorism and the democratic sense in Argentina.
A chronicle is a short narrative that aims to tell a story from a personal perspective about events, places, or people, using narrative and descriptive elements. The style and tone of the text can be journalistic or literary, but it should offer a fluid reading experience, capable of conveying perceptions, emotions, details, and reflections.
Some questions to inspire and guide you in your chronicle:
Where did you go? With whom and when? Why?
What sensations and feelings did you have during and after your visit? What details caught your attention?
Attention? What did you think?
What did the visit to the site mean to you?
Did you tell anyone about your visit? Who and how?
Do you think it's important to know about these places? Why?
