La jerga de la represión. Apuntes sobre el empleo, la apropiación y la creación de un nuevo campo semántico en los CCDTyE durante la dictadura cívico-militar argentina

This article proposes a reflection on the jargon of the repressorsbased on the use, the appropriation and the creation of a new semantic field used within the CCDTyE during the last Argentine civil-military dictatorship (1976-1983). This study explores the language used b y both perpetrators and victims in three Argentine fictional films: The Night of the Pencils (Olivera 1986), Garage Olimpo(Bechis 1999) and Cronicle of an Escape (Caetano 2006). These are films that, although they correspond to different “moments of the memory” (Zarco 2016), share the jargon used b y oppressors to call themselves superior beings and, at the same time, victims as inferior beings. Similarly, it addresses the use of euphemisms to designate the different practices that were exercised on victims.
