The categories of missing and absent persons in the Argentina of the 1970'sThis paper aims to analyze the categories of missing and absent persons in Argentina, during the years 1975 and 1976, as they appear in the solicitadas published in the press of the period. It tries to identify the meanings of these signs and the disputes on their homogenization before its consolidation in the perspective of human rights. It is based on the bakhtinian theory of language and on the idea of communicative action in newspapers conceived by Eliseo Verón. It tries to understand the connection between these terms, as well as to demonstrate the search for convincing readers through these categories within ideological perspectives.
