Resumen
VISACOVSKY, Sergio Eduardo. Spatial images and genealogical disputes: the re-elaboration of the State-terrorism experience in a psychiatric public hospital. Nueva antropol [online]. 2005, vol.20, n.65, pp.29-54. ISSN 0185-0636.
This work analyses how catastrophic experiences are elaborated through the use of interpretative frames. This process is examined in a group of psychiatrists and psychologists who worked in a psychiatric institution, el Lanús (the most famous psychiatric service in a general public hospital in Argentina). Many of them were victims of the self-named "Process of National Reorganization" (the military regime that bloodily governed Argentina between 1976 and 1983). The author wants to show how these elaborations adopted heterogeneous and conflicting features, being organized by means of space images developed from pre-existent everyday practices.
