Description
Résumé:This article discusses the multiple roles of registering political violence and proposes basic concepts and a new framework to its study. Following the case of the documentation of state terrorism by civil society during the last military dictatorship in Chile (1973-1990), it shows how registries contributed to victims’ assistance and defence as well as to the denunciation and ressistance of the repressive regime. Moreover, with the notion of political technologies, the article demostrates the uses of such documentation in the future and in another arena: the process of victims qualification and reparation by the transitional state in the National Commission of Truth and Reconciliation (1990-1991). In this way, the article argues that the systematic study of registration practices as ways of political violence inscription demands a shift in the scale with which to approach human rights archives, one that enables an inquiry into the practices of documentation as well as the artefacts and technical resources that mediate such practices, capable of examining the traspositions that re-inscribe what is enunciated in the future and in different arenas.
