The aim of the present study is to examine Maria Moreno’s book Oración. Carta a Vicki y otras elegías (2018). It is a work of difficult generic definition that narrates the years of the Argentine dictatorship (1976 -1983) through the death of Victoria Walsh and the disappearance of his father Rodolfo Walsh. It belongs, in some way, to the broad and diversified narrative of ‘post memory’. Beyond the historical and political data, the author expands and focuses her reflection on the meaning of motherhood and fatherhood of activists in subversive groups, and the consequences of this condition in the dictatorship of the National Reorganization Process. The initial investiga- tion, the link between a father and a daughter and the scene of their death, opens up new and old questions, such as aesthetic value, the search for truth and its representation, the place and the voice of women, mothers and daughters.

Abstract

The aim of the present study is to examine Maria Moreno’s book Oración. Carta a Vicki y otras elegías (2018). It is a work of difficult generic definition that narrates the years of the Argentine dictatorship (1976 -1983) through the death of Victoria Walsh and the disappearance of his father Rodolfo Walsh. It belongs, in some way, to the broad and diversified narrative of ‘post memory’. Beyond the historical and political data, the author expands and focuses her reflection on the meaning of motherhood and fatherhood of activists in subversive groups, and the consequences of this condition in the dictatorship of the National Reorganization Process. The initial investiga- tion, the link between a father and a daughter and the scene of their death, opens up new and old questions, such as aesthetic value, the search for truth and its representation, the place and the voice of women, mothers and daughters.
