Sumario:Since 2002, there are activist groups in Argentina that seek to know about their own origins and demand laws that guarantee their right to identity, because they claim that their demands have not yet been addressed by the State. In 2013, the Economic and Social Council of the City of Buenos Aires called on all activists to draft a bill that granted legislative and legal tools for those who want to know their origins. Based on the ethnographic material that was built during the meetings of the work group in which the activists participated, I explore the senses assigned by these activists to categories such as “victim”, “affected”, “identity”, “origin”, “biology”, but also their values and opinions about the number of people seeking their origins today in Argentina. The article describes the building process of the bill known as "Right to biological and original Identity", focusing in the characteristics assumed by this type of activism and the dialogue it establishes with other types of activisms that have been essential to build historical demands for truth and justice in Argentina. Thus, it is possible to understand these activisms of the late twentieth century and early twenty first century as part of an activist genealogy.
