Cien años de la masacre de Napalpí. Un análisis del Juicio por la Verdad desde la visión coproduccionista interaccional de conocimientos
Abstract
The objective of this article is to analyze the Truth Trial for the Napalpí massacre and the previous process, which began about fifteen years earlier. To this end, we take up the contributions of Sheila Jasanoff (2004), for whom co-production is more than a theory, it is a language that allows us to account for complex phenomena, such as the processes of seeking justice for human rights violations. Specifically, it is based on a commitment to an interactional co-productionist dimension, insofar as it allows showing that every problem of the social order implies, at the same time, a problem of the order of knowledge. As a space for co-production, the trial enabled the interaction of a multiplicity of social agents - survivors and descendants; indigenous teachers and researchers; academics and scientists, among others - and the construction of a collective voice from which to reconstruct what happened before, during and after the Napalpí massacre, as well as the broader context linked to the process of indigenous genocide. The analysis is based on my own experience as a researcher who collaborated with the case since 2015 –when I was summoned by the Human Rights Unit of the Federal Prosecutor's Office of Resistencia to provide an initial testimony– and as a witness in the oral and public trial, which took place between April and May 2022.
