Relações de gênero e memórias das ditaduras civis-militares: perspectivas da historiografia francesa sobre o Cone Sul

Abstract

In recent years we have seen a significant increase in studies that problematize the stories and memories related to the period of civil-military dictatorships in the Southern Cone (Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay). In different ways, the endof the dictatorships that took place in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s has made possible several investigations, mainly problematizing the construction of a memory about this past. And, gender issues and gender violence are also themes present in these studies. In recent years, I have noticed the interest of historians, especially French, in studies of the civil-military dictatorships that took place in the Southern Cone. I saw how the themes relating gender, memory and dictatorships in the countries of this continent have been the target of different approaches and I drew attention to the methodological approaches of European researchers to the histories of the Southern Cone.
