And, as Victoria García has pointed out, although the origin of Argentine testimonio is located in this work, this origin is paradoxically anachronistic (2015, 20). However, Walsh, who still identified himself as anti-Peronist, did not intend at the time to create with Operación masacre a new literary genre, of the kind that would later be labelled testimonio. The events had been part of the repression against the Peronist insurrection of June 1956 – repression deployed by the military dictatorship of the self-proclaimed Revolución Libertadora, which had ruled Argentina since September 1955, after having overthrown Juan Domingo Perón in a coup d’état and outlawing his political movement.

Aramburu is both a milestone in its commitment to journalistic research and a complaint in times of persecution and political assassinations.įive decades later two journalists and academics have made a tribute experience and re-construction of the Walsh investigation using digital tools. Walsh’s book redefined the borders that separated the practice of journalism and literary narrative, as he tells the story of the shootings that occurred in 1956 in Jose Leon Suarez under the government of Gral.

In 1957 Rodolfo Walsh with Operación Masacre started a new trend of writing newspaper articles that later received several names (literary journalism, non-fiction, new journalism, etc.). Operaction Massacre tells the story of the José León Suárez massacre, which involved the 1956 capture and shooting of Peronist militants. Alvaro Liuzzi and Vanina Verghella produced this journalistic experiment aiming to “remix” a remarkable work of classic Argentine journalism, Operación Masacre (Rodolfo Walsh), with a modern vision supported by various digital publishing tools.
