Memory and the river

Abstract

This article takes the reader on a journey through Remembrance Park (the commemorative area in the city of Buenos Aires, which looks onto Río de la
Plata, where so many corpses ended up submerged) which intertwines the time of horror with a time that wonders which monuments, which representations
can, must, should (?) be erected, practiced, to give substance, body, to what has been taken away. Questions that require us to initiate a dialogue with the
fictional works of H.I.J.O.S. (Spanish acronym for Sons and Daughters for Identity and Justice Against Forgetting and Silence, which coincidentally also reads as
“children” in Spanish) of the desaparecidos (“missing people”) that started to produce their own stories over the last 20 years.
