A tanto años de Cromañón: ¿Y después de esto qué?

Abstract

The society elaborates diverse image and archetypes in contexts of emergency and suffering. In doing so, their institutions do not collapse. Cromañon not only is an unique case because of the diversity of involving victims, but also because the mourning is lived in a rare way, defying other political already existent discourse as “desaparecidos” post last junta dictatorship. The nature of accidents, and the lack of firm sentences, makes of this movement a fertile ground for philosophical examination. The present paper is based on the interpretation of two texts, Cromañón la tragedia contada por 19 sobrevivientes y Callejeros en primera persona, both are placed under the lens of scrutiny. The decline of trust in political classes as well as the sentiment of guilty in survivors is two relevant aspects present in these discourses.
