Our troubled times seem to be characterised not only by the vindication of past state violence, but also by the emergence of new imaginaries of cruelty, whose basis is the deformation of historical reality that is carried out in the media with the proliferation of hate speeches.In this context, it is no coincidence that at the same time that violence is denied or legitimised by the state, the specificity of gender-based violence is also denied. As the Argentinean anthropologist Rita Segato has shown, the latter is the school of all other forms of violence.From the present coordinates of the first quarter of the 21st century, this book comes, on the one hand, to dialogue with those who work for the recovery of memory, contributing voices that until recently had not been sufficiently taken into account. On the other hand, it contrasts those deliberately empty and forgetful discourses of hate with the testimony of 18 women with names and surnames, with bodies and subjectivities that went through the horror before, during and after the last civil-military dictatorship in Argentina and, specifically, in the province of Río Negro.Thus, it aims to make a contribution to the knowledge of the recent past - but which is also knowledge about the urgencies of the present and the future - from a feminist perspective.
