The myth of martial law: the dynamics of crisis management and fragmented human rights boom in Argentina
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This dissertation examines social movements in Argentina; in particular the differential impact the organization of Las Madres de Plaza de Mayo has in advancing human rights. The paradox with this social movement is that while it contributed to human rights awareness and induced legal changes, it was simultaneously able to materialize authoritarian practices. To this end, Las Madres de Plaza de Mayo utilized human rights as a banner to legitimize their engagement in social struggle. However, what is concealed is that the organization uses human rights for their own economic advancement. To synthesize, the goal is to examine how human rights works as a type of hegemonic power for social movements, while they may at times advance human rights, they may simultaneously betray perspectives of social justice and equity. This dissertation inquiries into fragmentation in social movements struggle to materialize human rights. \n\nThis dissertation also examines the concept of martial law. The objective here is to demonstrate how the widespread use of the term is problematic because the content of martial law is subject to historical juncture and prevailing power systems. The point is that rather than martial law having a clear category, it is rather nebulous. Notwithstanding the brutal force that may be unleashed by invoking martial law, it will also be demonstrated that its power is not absolute, but rather shaped by other social forces as well. This suggests that under martial law, it is important to account for how other social forces position their respective agendas. \n\nOne of the social forces that mediate martial law is social movements. What will be examined is the way that social movements oscillate between elements of martial law as consciousness and praxis; and yet paradoxically, their ability to materialize fragments of human rights. Similarly, although martial law has been the dominant state paradigm in Argentina, under the Kirchner administration, there appears to be a shift in state power to a human rights agenda. Accordingly, this dissertation will examine the extent to which the Kirchner administration vacillates between fragments of martial law and human rights discourse and practice.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
