Constructing Memory through Television in Argentina

Television represents Argentina's recent past through three specific links with social memory: as an "entrepreneur of memory," shaping public agendas, as a vehicle of intergenerational transmission of past events, and as a creator of meaning through images, sounds, and words, a "stage for memory." An analysis in terms of the links between television and the memories constructed around the forced disappearance of persons during the 1976-1983 military dictatorship reveals the complex way in which the obstacles when narrating an extreme experience are combined with the attempt to sell a product and entertain the spectator. La televisión representa el pasado reciente de la Argentina a través de vínculos específicos con la memoria social: como un "emprendedor de la memoria" definiendo las agendas públicas, como un vehículo de transmisión intergeneracional sobre el pasado y como un creador de significados por medio de imágenes, sonidos y palabras, esto es, un "escenario para la memoria." Un análisis de los vínculos entre televisión y memorias, construido alrededor de la desaparición forzada de personas durante la dictadura militar de 1976 a 1983, revela la manera compleja en la cual los obstáculos para relatar ese periodo trágico se combinan con el intento de vender un producto y entretener al espectador
