      abstract = {This volume explores the evolving and complex memorial  consequences of political and state violence in  post-dictatorial Argentina. Specifically, it looks at the  power and significance of personal memories of trauma and  loss of two groups of women who represent antithetical  versions of the recent Argentinian past: those affected by  military terror and those affected by armed guerrilla  violence. This volume contends that we need to look beyond  political and ideological contestations to a deeper level  of how memorial cultures are formed and sustained. It  argues that we cannot account for the politics of memory in  modern-day Argentina without acknowledging and exploring  the role played by individual emotions and affects in  generating and shaping collective emotions and affects.  Drawing on first-hand oral testimony taken from Argentinian  women who experienced the political violence and state  terror of the 1970s and 1980s, the research in this volume  aims at understanding how their affective memories may be a  different source of insight into the ongoing, deep  animosities within and between Argentine memorial cultures.  In direct contrast to the nominally objective and  universalist sensibility that traditionally has driven  transitional justice endeavours, this volume challenges the  current transitional justice framework and examines how  affective memories of trauma are a potentially disruptive  power within the reconciliation paradigm. Accordingly,  "Reframing the Transitional Justice Paradigm: Women's  Affective Memories in Post Dictatorial Argentina" is an  excellent resource for those interested in human rights,  transitional justice, social memory, cultural studies,  clinical psychology and social work, and Latin American  conflicts.},
