Resumen:
In my contribution to the interpretation of the most recent military dictatorship I aim to incorporate certain aspects which have barely been explored. In order to understand this phase of blatant criminal activity by the State, the mechanisms of repression and the social moralising, as well as the State’s hold on power thanks to the use of confusion and immateriality, I have chosen to concentrate on the use which the regime made of the oppressive ideologies of genre. And specifically in this article, I have focused on the benefits derived from the women who formed an organic part of the repression, as well as on the contradictory images which this produced, such as that, for example, of maternity as the focus of repression as well as of resistance.
