The Senses of Violence in the Speech and Practices of the PRT-ERP Organization during 1970-1976 in Argentina

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the different senses of violence in the discourse and practices of the organization during 1970-1976. To achieve this goal, firstly, we will carry out a theoretical approximation of the term violence and then we will examine the symbolic struggle that this group had with the dictatorship and the Peronist government in order to define and portray the violence with which they acted. Last but not least, we will make a distinction between the different senses of violence that the organization attempted to perform through their press releases.
