This dissertation analyzes different forms of silence in various historical narratives about the Holocaust and Argentina. Drawing on the theoretical framework of Holocaust and Latin American literary critics, this study focuses on the dynamic transformation of language and how these distinct violent events present individuals and the public with a limited perception of the event. From the discourse of Holocaust survivors (Primo Levi and Jorge Semprun) to the female writers of the Argentine military dictatorship (Alicia Partnoy, Liliana Heker and Luisa Valenzuela), these texts identify patterns and paradoxes within the category of silence in order to illustrate extreme reactions to violence, the choice of silence and the collective gaps in historical memory. These narratives constitute instances of extreme silence, silence under torture, and the relationship between silence and amnesia. The proximity to death presents the issue of speechlessness while the Spanish term, mudez, refers to the torture of female political prisoners in Argentina. The dissertation focuses on the engagement between these testimonies in order to indicate the ontological interpretation of language and silence. In reading the Holocaust alongside the events of Argentine military dictatorship, the dissertation also proposes that memory and trauma studies cannot be read through the same lens. Each politically violent event requires its own interpretation through its own historical context. The recontextualization of the definition of silence integrates the nuances of silencing, disappearance, secrecy, and forgetting. These differences help expose the dynamic categories of silence in order to repurpose the fragmentary complexities of language, trauma, and memory.
