Description
Summary:The ultimate goal of this article is to strain and to bring some nuances to the notion of "concentration experience" that Pilar Calveiro has formulated more than a decade ago to characterize the last dictatorship, in his famous work Poder y desaparición. Los campos de concentración en Argentina. In order to do so, I will analyze in comparative terms other spaces of reclusion that articulated their function whith those "concentration-extermination camps" on which she based her research and reflection. Spaces that functioned in coordination with these camps, and without whose existence it is impossible to understand the repressive dynamics of the last dictatorship. Especially in those regions of the country far from the great urban centers. In these sense, I will focus on the analysis of some "Clandestine Detention Centers" (CDC) that operated in the Argentine Northern Patagonia and how they articulated their respective ways of acting among themselves, as well as with other spaces such as the Clandestine Centers of Detention (CCD) "La Escuelita" and Unit No. 9 of the Federal Penitentiary Service
