Abstract

The debate on the different concepts to nominate or qualify the systematic annihilation of human groups (genocide, war, State Terrorism, crimes against humanity) has influenced the juridical, scholar and political fields, producing different consequences in the possibilities to appropriate or alienate the historical experience. Focusing in the Argentinian case, the work discusses the ethical and political consequences in the uses of such different concepts and also their effects in the collective identities, in the construction of sense and in the relationship between memory, present and action.
