Summary
Analyzes and compares the "processes of annihilation" carried out by the Nazis between 1933-45 and by the Argentinean Junta between 1974-83. Asserts that both cases were acts of genocide. Ch. 4 (pp. 145-175) discusses aspects of scientific approaches to the genocide of the Jews, such as uniqueness of the phenomenon, comparability, and "narratability" or "non-narratability" as modes of expression of memory. Ch. 5 (pp. 177-205) describes different models of causality with which to understand the genocide, such as those elaborated by Raul Hilberg, Hannah Arendt, Arno Mayer, and Christopher Browning, among others. Asserts that the genocide of the Jews was a social practice that, through a specific technology of destruction, was aimed at reorganizing social relationships according to the view of the dominant power. This trait has been shared by other processes of annihilation in different moments of history, especially during the 20th century; among others, the genocide carried out by the Argentinean Junta.
