Description
Summary:The Clandestine Detention Center, that the Argentine Navy managed at the School of Mechanics (ESMA), in Buenos Aires city, during the last military dictatorship, makes up an emblem of the most atrocious violations of human rights committed in the country's history. The development of a career path of repression to civilians, and their deployment in a clandestine structure, with projection throughout the national territory by the Armada, doesn`t have investigations yet, that offer integrative syntheses and explanations. In this paper we propose to create a new mapping of the different stages and venues of its repressive action, and problematize temporary cuts that traditionally held. On the territorial plane, 11 Task Forces (FT) were organized under the control of the Naval Operations Command. We will seek to advance in the knowledge of circulation patterns of detainees, the collaboration between the different Task Forces, and their modalities of action. We will take, as a gateway to this troubled world, a particular case, the replacement of the concentration path of a missing detainee – Cecilia Viñas – in order to understand the operation of a Task Force, poorly explored so far, the Force of Task 6 "Force of Submarines" of Mar del Plata.
