Usages du passé et rhétorique de la demande de pardon en politique
Abstrak
This article aims to characterize the act of asking for forgiveness about traumatic historical past events from a rhetorical and discourse analysis perspective. I discuss this act as a way of using the past in political discourse and, therefore, as a way of analyzing the discursive anchorage of memory. As a case study, I examine the request for forgiveness that former Argentinan President Néstor Kirchner made on behalf of the National State to the victims of state terrorism during the country's last military dictatorship (1976-1983). This happened on March 24, 2004, at the ESMA (Navy Mechanics School), Argentina's main clandestine detention center. I also analyze the tensions that this request for forgiveness and construction of memory generated with the first democratically elected president after the dictatorship, Raúl Alfonsín (1983-1989), and with the political party to which he belonged, the Radical Civic Union.
