Debates around Oral History have not ceased for the last years, in spite of having reached certain maturity in their methodological face. Some aspects which refer to professional ethics, to the truthfulness of testimonies, to the way in which oral history is produced and to the property of the historical accounts, still remain object of debate in every Oral History Convention. One of the issues which still needs to be deeply discussed is the time of the testimonies, as a result of the oral history interviews with the protagonists of recent history. Within the last problem referred to as a reflection on “history protagonists´ protagonism” when narrating their memories, we will be able to reconsider the significance of oral testimony as it makes the social actor return to a vivid past which is related to the present of the interview. When it comes to interviewing human rights movements´activists, we can think of a triple protagonism of the social actors, placing them in a permanent position which covers both past and present: 1) That initial protagonism of political activism which begins in the hard years of the last civic-military dictatorship or during the transition to democracy with the search for their disappeared relatives. 2. That protagonism they achieve one more time when they narrate their life experience during the oral history interviews, where building up the historical accounts can only be carried out by those who have experienced history and who have been their direct witnesses. 3. The participation as witnesses/claimants in the trials for crimes against humanity of the last years which, once again, turns Human Rights activists into main characters in a relevant historical deed. In this article, I thus aim at examining the temporal matter and the triple protagonism mentioned above, so as to contribute to the study field with new issues to think about when it comes to using that complex methodology proposed by oral history.

This article reflects on the practice of oral history based on a work experience with family photographic archives and with the collection of a series of interviews which aimed at gathering memories about the Portuguese dictatorship, the liberation wars from the old colonies and the revolutionary period from 1974 to 1975. The article highlights several central issues on the use of oral testimonies: the process of arranging and carrying out interviews, the meaning of silences, the importance of the interviewer´s listening ability, the mutability of the accounts in various contexts and the role of gender relationships in the making of testimonies.

In 1998, Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo created the Family Biographical Archive (Archivo Biografico Familiar) aiming at reconstructing the life stories of those disappeared people whose children had been appropriated during the last military dictatorship in Argentina. Since then, the Archive has recorded and preserved the voices of those people who knew them, waiting for the moment the grandchild is found. It intends to be an instrument towards generational transmission, through which the grandchildren can learn the story of their parents, and so, their own. On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, this article intends to go through the history of the Archive, examining its research methodology, analyzing how its work has evolved throughout the years, the different projects it has developed and its future challenges.

This article tackles the occupation of Ford Motor Plant in General Pacheco (North of Buenos Aires Province), which took place between June 26th and July 14th 1985. Its specific goal lies in analysing the practices of the internal organisation in the occupation of this automobile plant, attempting to discern the experience and consciousness of the activist workers in this struggle. In the first part, a brief reference is made to the general situation of the period, in the second part the actual fact is described and in the third one, a theoretical analysis is presented on the basis of those theoretical categories proposed by the following authors: Edward Thompson, Raymond Williams, Antonio Gramsci y Raphael Samuel.
