Abstract

The author reviews the debates between Alfonsín’s government and Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo organization, from December of 1983 to the end of 1985. Focused on transitional justice policy, such conflicts involved different themes, including legal aspects, political interpretations, and cultural representations about the past of political violence. As this paper shows, that debates involved multiple moments of approach and distance, until a final rupture after the Trial of the Military Juntas.
