Abstract

The present article discusses the ways in which the Human Rights question was represented, evoked and elaborated in the speeches constructed by Clarín between 1981 and 1983 . It focuses on a set of scenes that are considered to condense some of the main bets, challenges and tensions of the context. The inquiry concludes that Clarín intervened in rehearsing new accounts and interpretations about the present, about the past and about his own performance during the dictatorial regime, as well as on the future, that allowed him to become a valid in- terlocutor within the new transitional consensus.
