I Want Justice: A Performance About Impunity in Argentina

Miguel A. Malagreca

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

This performance is about the effects of impunity on subjectivity. It was produced in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the return of democracy in Argentina in 2003. This commemoration coincides with international concern created about the freedom of the repressors of the last military dictatorship in Argentina, the petition of extradition, and its rejection by the Argentinean Supreme Court. Written during a doctoral seminar on social interaction at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the author uses multiple literary, theoretical, and artistic sources as intertextual references to construct an autobiographical, explorative piece that spins around collective memory as a practice of social justice. The author suggests the historical impact of the dictatorship on Argentinean culture and subjectivity should be linked to previous historical massacres and traumas, which are then re-signified or recoded in light of the disappearance of 30,000 people during the period 1976 to 1983 in Argentina.
