Resumen
Descripción
Este artículo analiza las incipientes formas de activismo de un
grupo de mujeres, las Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, cuyo objetivo es la
búsqueda de niños/as desaparecidos/as durante la última dictadura
militar argentina. Para iluminar este proceso se reflexionará sobre la
primera localización de un niño y una niña acompañada por “Abuelas”.
Tras el secuestro de sus padres, dos hermanos son “abandonados” en
una plaza pública, internados en un instituto de menores y entregados
en guarda a una pareja. Sin embargo, la búsqueda de sus abuelas
en toda la región permitió su localización un año después. Se desató
así un conflicto público entre las familias en disputa en torno a la
legitimidad de la adopción o la restitución. Esto habilitó la intervención
tanto de autoridades militares desde las embajadas involucradas como
de diversos representantes locales de organismos internacionales
en el marco de un debate mediático, político y regional en torno a la
“subversión”. De esta manera, a partir de este estudio de caso, se
contribuirá al debate general en torno a la compleja relación entre
política, derechos, parentesco e infancia.
This articule analizes the incipient forms of activism of a group of women, “Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo”, whose goal was the search of children dissappeared during the last military dictatorship in Argentina. To enlighten this process we will think over the first location of a girl and a boy by “Abuelas”. After the kidnapping of their parents, two siblings are “abandoned” at a public square, admitted to an orphanage and then given to guardianship to a couple. However, the search performed by their grandmothers throughout the whole region resulted in their location a year later. A publict conflict emerged between the two families over the legitimacy of the adoption or restitution. This allowed the intervention, not only of military authorities from the involved embassies but also of different local representatives of international organizations as part of a regional and political debate on “subversion” over the media. Thus, the study of this case will contribute to the general debate over the complex relationship between politics, rights, kinship and childhood.
