Abstract

This article explores the debates about the use of the category civic-military dictatorship in Argentina. The starting hypothesis is that this notion contributes to building common sense about the dictatorship but also about democracy. The work aims to analyze which images of the past are enabled and which are silenced based on the use of this notion and identify which narratives about the past and the present emerge from the different positions at stake. To do this, we carry out a critical reading of some founding texts and put them in dialogue with «political» texts about the dictatorship, contemporary and even prior to those, to question the meaning effects of the uses of this category in the present.
