In order to reflect on the complexity of the postmemorial elaboration in the children of the victims of State terrorism in Argentina during the last dictatorship (1976-1983), we propose to consider three questions. First, what memory do they build? That of the parents, that of themselves? Second, how do they configure the memorial narration? What story do they develop, what procedures, tropes, topics, imaginary, genres and aesthetics do they choose? And finally, what are the spaces and agencies where these memories are configured? Although it can be assumed that it is a continuous and endless process, which is slowly articulated throughout life, in the most varied places and in front of diverse listeners; certain instances and spaces have been key in the construction of their stories: literature and art, psychoanalysis, militancy and judgments.
