Between a Brazilian refuge and the European exile: Fragments of memory of a “Montonero”

Abstract

The present article treats about part of the political and personal trajectory of the Argentinean Miguel Fernández Long, a political militant and former member of the Montoneros organization. A refugee in Brazil between 1977 and 1978, he was granted asylum in Sweden. Based on Fernández Long´s declarations as well as on a delimited political proscription-related bibliography, intention is to be restricted to experiences that added significance and support to the Montoneros´ system of beliefs during the Argentinean dictatorship, changing focus of interest from the organization leadership to individual memories of “secondary” activists. Reference used is the way how a voice expressing itself in the present relates to communitarian dimension-connected voices.
