ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper was to analyse the issues surrounding recent declarations of opening of some documentary collections related to human rights violations and crimes against humanity in Mexico (M68 and CISEN), sheltered by Mexico’s General Archive of the Nation (AGN, by its Spanish acronym). The paper focuses on two modalities of epistemic injustices: testimonial injustices and hermeneutical injustices. These terms are contextualized within the nature and the construction of social reality through archival collections, and are identified by the types of injustice involved with the historical processing of these collections. One dimension of the right to information (according to the Mexican rule of law), refers to the prerogative to have access to public records and documents, which is supported by the constitutional right to access plural and timely information. This work presents a social engagement with a group of human rights documents that are a relatively new, potentially unfamiliar, and understudied phenomenon to an archival audience. These documentary collections are important, since they contain information gathered by the authorities of the period known as ‘Dirty War’, but also testimonies of victims, families, and national and international journalists who lived the facts.

抵制认知不公正的信息权:墨西哥 AGN 的 M68 文献集

摘要

本文的目的是分析最近宣布开放一些与墨西哥侵犯人权和危害人类罪有关的文献收藏(M68 和 CISEN)的问题,这些文献收藏由墨西哥国家档案馆(AGN,由其西班牙文缩写)。本文着重于认识不公正的两种形式:证词不公正和解释学不公正。这些术语在通过档案馆藏的社会现实的性质和建构中被置于语境中,并被这些馆藏的历史处理所涉及的不公正类型所识别。知情权的一个方面(根据墨西哥法治)是指获得公共记录和文件的特权,这得到宪法赋予的获取多元化和及时信息的权利的支持。这项工作向档案观众展示了一组人权文件的社会参与,这些文件是一种相对较新、可能不熟悉且未充分研究的现象。这些文献集很重要,因为它们包含由被称为“肮脏战争”时期的当局收集的信息,以及受害者、家人以及生活在事实中的国家和国际记者的证词。
