The narrative series that collects the memory of the dictatorship in Tucuman is dissimilar. It is constructed within the boundaries of both, the testimonial genre and the journalistic narrative, along with the counterpoint formed by the voices of those writing from Buenos Aires and those writing locally in Tucumán. Temporalities juxtapose with geographical spaces and reading circuits. The present work offers the opposing readings of “memories against memories”, as defined by Jelin (2006). Tucumán is portrayed as a battlefield in the testimonies of 1970’s politics. Because of their significance, I mention two books originally published abroad: Richard Gillespie’s Soldiers of Peron. Argentina’s Montoneros, and Martin Edwin Andersen’s Dossier Secreto: Argentina’s Desaparecidos and the Myth of the Dirty War (1993). In 2005, Eduardo Anguita publishes his testimonial novel La compañía de Monte (The Monte company), in Buenos Aires, while Lucía Mercado publishes in Tucumán Santa Lucía de Tucumán. La Base (Santa Lucía of Tucuman. The Base), during the same year.HoracioElsinger’s novel La virgen de los ojos cerrados (The virgin with closed eyes), recently published in Buenos Aires, is inscribed within the sphere of literary writing, placing a heavy bet on the metaphoric construction about the dictatorship in Tucuman. In the literature corpus, the town’s violent past is recorded with its multiple complexities, and organised by marked antinomies and the great “here/there” division. Elsinger’s metaphor does not create a new testimonial order; instead, it makes silences explicit.
La serie narrativa de la memoria de la dictadura en Tucumán es disímil. Se construye entre los límites del género testimonial y del relato periodístico con el contrapunto de las voces de los autores que la piensan desde Buenos Aires y los que la piensan desde Tucumán. Hay un cruce de temporalidades pero, también, de espacios geográficos y de circuitos de lectura. Este trabajo propone la lectura contrapuesta de las “memorias contra memorias” en términos de Jelin (2006). Tucumán se representa como un campo de batalla en los testimonios de la política de los años 70. Señalo por su importancia dos libros publicados inicialmente en el exterior: Soldados de Perón. Los Montoneros de Richard Gillespie (1982) y Dossier secreto. El mito de la “guerra sucia” en Argentina, de Martin Edwin Andersen (1993). En el año 2005, Eduardo Anguita publica en Buenos Aires su novela testimonial, La Compañía de Monte y Lucía Mercado publica en el mismo año en Tucumán, Santa Lucía de Tucumán, La Base, libro con sello editor de la autora. Desde la escritura literaria y con una fuerte apuesta a la construcción metafórica sobre la dictadura en Tucumán, se inscribe la novela de Horacio Elsinger, La virgen de los ojos cerrados, publicada recientemente en Buenos Aires. En los libros del corpus, el pasado violento de la provincia aparece inscripto con sus múltiples complejidades y organizado por marcadas antinomias y la gran división del “aquí” y el “allá”. La metáfora de Elsinger no engendra un nuevo orden testimonial sino que explicita los silencios.
