Transnational Embodiments: Staging the Trope of Transgenerational Transmission in the Theatre of Victoria Szpunberg and Sergio Blanco
This article explores the transgenerational transmission of trauma in two transnational playwrights—Catalan-Argentine Victoria Szpunberg and Franco-Uruguayan Sergio Blanco—whose work traverses diverse cultural contexts. By focusing on two radically different contemporary projects, we will reflect critically on the ways in which transgenerational transmission of trauma has been destabilized and critiqued. Both provide substantial evidence of delib…

Universidad, revolución y dólares: Dos estudios sobre la Guerra Fría cultural en el Uruguay de los sesenta
This book constitutes an ambitious historical interrogation of the complex relationship between universities, local and global politics, and international funding for scientific research culture in the Cold War era. This accomplished monograph moves away from a reading of Uruguayan left-wing politics through traditional party politics to trace the major shifts in university research culture during the 1960s. The author's cogent analysis pivots ex…

Ana Forcinito. Intermittences: Memory, Justice, & the Poetics of the Visible in Uruguay
At first glance, the most striking aspect of Ana Forcinito’s book Intermittences: Memory, Justice, & the Poetics of the Visible in Uruguay is its staggering scope and depth. The author deftly draws on a range of theoretical concepts and ideas, and she disciplines and develops them vis-à-vis a range of literary and creative outputs, all framed within the dictatorship era and its aftermath in Uruguay. The book takes as a starting point Elizabeth Je…

From Blanket Impunity to Judicial Opening(s): H.I.J.O.S. and Memory Making in Postdictatorship Argentina (2005-2012)
With the increasing opportunities for justice ushered in by the repeal of the Full Stop and Due Obedience laws in 2005, the struggles for memory and justice by Argentina's H.I.J.O.S. (Sons and Daughters for Identity and Justice against Forgetting and Silence) have shifted focus. Pre-2005, the organization used escraches (public demonstrations in which the perpetrators of human rights violations are "outed") to respond to the problem of top-down i…

TheMemorial de los Detenidos Desaparecidos: Fragile memory and contested meaning in Post-dictatorship Uruguay
Nearly thirty years after the Uruguayan civil-military dictatorship (1973–1985) ended, the ways in which memory of this period is treated remains the subject of considerable contestation. In early 2010, controversy erupted over the filming of an advertisement for Sprite. During the shoot, the Memorial de los Detenidos Desaparecidos, conceived and constructed between 1998 and 2001 in homage to the victims of state terrorism, was covered up by the …
