Between 1976 and 1983, the Argentinian military dictatorship has been responsible of 30,000 enforced disappearances of opponents. This crime against humanity – recognized as such since 2010 – has been exacerbated further by children rights abuses: 500 babies have been “appropriated” by the military staff and its accomplices. Their identities were wiped out and new fictitious filiations were invented. When the dictatorship falls down in 1983, it became evident that the non-released people have all been assassinated in the camps. Their “disappearance” is a death that is not called one, a pending death. On the flip side, the children are still “living disappeared” (“missing”). They don’t suffer a pending death, but a pending life. Their lives are suspended and are inextricably linked, in the real as such as in the symbolic, to their parents’ death. I propose to focus on paradoxical space-times which are the ‘social limbos’ where the disappeared are confined. By understanding them as knots of intimacy and society, that still actively injures the culture, we can try to resolve the symbolic impasse – which does quickly become a political impasse. We defend an ethic of plural truths, to light up the nebulous impunity.
