La construcción de la memoria colectiva del grupo social del Colectivo Ni Una Menos conformado por las mujeres transitó un camino de construcción diferenciado a través del proceso penal del caso. En este trabajo intentaré analizar el evento social y cómo es que la memoria colectiva puede ser diferente de acuerdo al grupo social que la construye.

It did so both because of its relevance and impact in terms of the visibility of violence against women and its consequent organization in a collective such as Ni Una Menos, and as an engine for the construction of collective memories as an act of resistance. Through the criminal pro-cess, the historical event understood as the femicide of Lucía Pérez was re-signified, operating as an engine of change for the understanding of the historical event understood as patriarchal violence. In this paper I will try to analyze the idea of historical event as a fundamental element for the construction of collective memories within a given social group, that is, the Ni Una Menos Collective.

Este trabajo intenta pensar nuevas formas de aplicar sistemas predictivos a los procesos penales y cuáles pueden ser los desafíos de su aplicación. En particular, analiza el caso State v. Loomis, donde una persona es condenada en razón de un informe emitido por un algoritmo.

ha establecido en sus sentencias la obligación de los Estados parte de la Convención Americana de Derechos Humanos (en adelante, la Convención) de investigar, perseguir y sancionar a aquellos que hubieran cometido violaciones a los derechos humanos.
En este trabajo analizaremos las obligaciones de los Estados parte de
investigar, perseguir y sancionar por un lado, y por el otro el deber de cumplimiento de los programas de due diligence aplicados por las empresas multinacionales (en adelante EMN).
Considerando que las EMN pueden reducir sus sanciones penales al demostrar que aplicaron un programa de due diligence, ¿puede esto constituir un obstáculo para las investigaciones relacionadas con violaciones a los Derechos Humanos?

existing discourses (Foucault, 1986), such as those produced by the justice
system, the media, or statements published by victims of terrorist organizations.
Hence, the scope of this thesis comprises three case studies in which women
took part in events that were—and, with nuances, continue to be—considered
acts of political violence or terrorism. Two of these cases concern women who
held important positions in the organization ETA1 and the third regards a young
woman (twenty-two years old when the event occurred) prosecuted for taking part
in a conflict, specifically a fight in a bar. In the opinion of one sector of society,
her actions were related to political violence, but to others, it was nothing more
than a bar quarrel: the so-called Altsasu incident.

Understanding how discourse produces subjects is relevant because it provides
us with a point of view that reaches beyond discussions of representation and
agency in order to understand how the subject of the “female” terrorist or “female”
militant is constituted (Gentry & Sjoberg, 2015: 326).
In this regard, power and power relations from a Foucauldian perspective partially
explain how power is gendered (Deveux, 1994: 224). According to Deveux,
Foucault’s writing on power has a “certain heuristic value for feminists,” but she
stresses that uncritical appropriations of Foucault’s concepts “erase women’s
specific experiences with power” (Deveux, 1994: 224).
To counter power dominance, according to Foucault, there is resistance.
However, if the existing dominance is rendered invisible by gendered bias, it is
materially impossible to counter it. Without a feminist lens, we cannot
substantively change the existing conditions of power relations (Lazar, 2007).
1 ETA stands for Euskadi Ta Auskatasuna, which in Basque means “Basque Country and Freedom.” This
organization was created in 1959 to fight for an independent Basque state in northern Spain and southern
France. The Spanish government categorized ETA as a terrorist organization. In January 2011, ETA
declared a permanent and "internationally verifiable" ceasefire.
2 The Altsasu incident is a judicial case against eight young people from Altsasu, a small town in Navarre,
Spain, for their involvement in a fight taking place on October 15th
, 2016 at a bar. In this altercation,
injuries were sustained by two off-duty Civil Guard officers stationed in the town and their girlfriends.

Gender is another system of oppression, more pervasive and complex than
others (Eckert, 1989: 253-254 cited in Lazar, 2007: 143).
In this line of thought, from the point of view of epistemological feminism, gender
is an ideological structure. Thus, understanding the production of subjects by
analyzing discourse has value for laying bare the nuances of patriarchal
stereotypes embedded in current society.
