Abstract	:	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 Semprún) 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.
