En este artículo abordamos el Programa de Reasentamiento de Personas Sirias Refugiadas (PRPSR) en Uruguay, implementado en cooperación con ACNUR en 2014, interrumpiéndose sobre fnales del 2015, y que tuvo como principales destinatarios a niños víctimas de la catástrofe humanitaria en Siria. A lo largo del texto problematizamos cómo un sector de la población refugiada-defnido en torno a la edad cronológica entendida como correlato de un momento específco y diferenciado del ciclo vital-se transforma en una categoría central en disputa. Focalizamos en la pugna entre los diferentes sentidos que se establecen para las categorías de niños y menores, las formas en que son reelaboradas en cada contexto y cómo están vinculadas a los procesos de asimilación proyectados. Proponemos que, por encima de los derechos humanos, lo que moviliza fnalmente las acciones en torno al reasentamiento es un fuerte impulso nacionalista que refuerza una identidad nacional: la uruguaya.
This article delves into some aspects of the relationship between impunity, middle sectors and religion in Uruguay, based on the public narrative of a group of disappeared detainees, bestselling author, gestalt therapist and Uruguayan neochamán. Its production of an autobiographical nature is of interest, because it allows us to enter into some dilemmatic aspects that challenge the common sense around concepts of memory and justice, shared in the field of memory and human rights, from a perspective that provides insight into how it can impact in different areas the ethos of individual comfort. Written in the context of a world pandemic, this text contributes to a reflection on the potential consequences of the development of universes of meaning on the pillars of individualism and autonomy, and their potential opposition to the universality of human rights. At the same time, it highlights the intersection between religion and politics in the Southern Cone through the narrative of a victim -member of the second generation-, who builds a biographical project that makes possible the formation of a happy family.
