Resumo: | This article aims to examine the ways in which television represents Argentina’s recent past, through three specific links between TV and social memory. Three approaches for research are proposed, which are different in analytical terms. These approaches allow us to focus on the role this medium plays in configuring public agendas (that is, television is approached as an entrepreneur of memory); its effectiveness as a medium which communicates past events to new generations (i.e., as a vehicle of transmission among generations); or its role as a constructor of meanings through images, sounds, and words (that is to say, television is approached as a stage for memory). All of these roles co-exist and are intertwined, but there is also tension among them. This article especially focuses on the experience of state terrorism in Argentina, in the framework of the military dictatorship in 1976-1983, as well as on the constructed memories about the disappearance of persons. The analysis of the links between TV and memory allows us to think how the obstacles to narrate an extreme experience are combined, in complex and not easily intelligible ways, with the sale of a product and entertainment. |

Se sugieren tres abordajes, distintos en términos analíticos, para la investigación. Estos abordajes permiten enfocar el rol de este medio en la configuración de agendas públicas (o sea, se aborda a la televisión como emprendedora de la memoria), su efectividad como soporte para difundir acontecimientos del pasado entre las nuevas generaciones (es decir, como vehículo de transmisión intergeneracional), o su rol como constructor de sentidos a través de imágenes, sonidos y palabras (es decir, la televisión se aborda como escenario de la memoria). Todos estos roles coexisten y se articulan, aunque también entran en tensión. El artículo se centra particularmente en la experiencia del terrorismo de Estado en Argentina, en el marco de la dictadura militar de 1976-1983, y en las memorias construidas en torno a la desaparición forzada de personas. El análisis de los vínculos entre TV y memoria permite pensar de qué modos los obstáculos para narrar una experiencia límite se combinan, de maneras complejas y no fácilmente inteligibles, con la intención de vender un producto y de entretener al espectador.UFRGS2012-09-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionSociología de la Culturaapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/3081010.22456/1983-201X.30810Anos 90; Vol. 19 No. 36 (2012): Dossiê História e Mídia; 149-172Anos 90; v. 19 n. 36 (2012): Dossiê História e Mídia; 149-1721983-201X0104-236Xreponame:Anos 90 (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGS-30porhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/anos90/article/view/30810/25776Feld, Claudiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-01-12T17:04:15Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/30810Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90PUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/anos90/oaianos90@ufrgs.br||1983-201X0104-236Xopendoar:2023-01-12T17:04:15Anos 90 (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false |
