Abstract

The main goal of this article is to investigate how the use of forced disappearances in Argentina (1974-1983) caused modifications to the unique spatial characteristics of their concentration camps. Specifically, I analyze three aspects: the removal within the camps of spatial-temporal references to the disappeared persons, the manner in which these victims remain present within the camps despite their disappearance, and the manner in which the outside space penetrates and superimposes itself upon the camp. This analysis is upheld by personal in depth interviews I had in Tucumán with relatives of the Disappeared and with survivors of the concentration camps.
