Abstract

For decades in Uruguay, human rights and the term "memory" were exclusively associated with the torture of trade union and political party militants during the civil-military dictatorship (1973-1984) and the issue of the detained-disappeared. This text succinctly analyzes the global and local changes that allowed for the expansion of this vision, as well as the historiographical debates that led to the inclusion of the memories of LGTBIQ+ people.
