Archivo oral de la Comisión Provincial por la Memoria. Memorias encontradas: el archivo y el testigo

Abstract

This lecture was part of the "Sonorous archives and popular culture" meeting which took place on September 17th, 2019 during the Colloquium on Popular Memories organized by the postgraduate careers at FaHCE (UNLP), Doctorate in History and Master in History and Memory, together with the Italian historian, Alessandro Portelli. During the lecture, the keynote speakers, Ingrid Jaschek and Julieta Sahade, presented the oral archive "Encountered Memories" from the Provincial Commission for the Memory (CPM) institution in Buenos Aires. In doing so, they described, on one hand, the history of the production and collection of a group of interviews developed by the different projects at the CPM and, on the other hand, they reflected about some particularities of the series "The archive and the witness": the context of production, the dialogue between the official / police reports and the voice of the witnesses, the different ways of narrating and telling.
