Recordar para reparar: la imagen de los desaparecidos uruguayos en el «Memorial a los detenidos-desaparecidos»

Abstract

In 2001, the Memorial to disappeared-detainees was inaugurated in the Cerro of Montevideo, Uruguay. It is a memory key place that lets us understand how important and significant the disappeared persons in Uruguay are. In this context, it crystallizes a representation of the dictatorship, a writing of history which most relevant commemorative meaning was the condemnation of the civilian-military system established as “State terrorism”. This paper analyzes and traces the origins of the Memorial, its meaning as symbolic reparation and the alignment of its significance to both the Government of the Municipality of Montevideo and the Familiares association.
