Sumario: This paper analyses popular wisdom and memory transmission regarding State terrorismand forced disappearance, which are circulating among youth living around HospitalPosadas, located in Haedo, a province to Buenos Aires, Argentina. At this hospital, therewas, under the military dictatorship (1976-1983), a Clandestine Imprisonment Center,where people were kept prisoner as disappeared. Therefore, at this facility both practicesof health restoration and torture and murder perpetration coexisted. Through thirty indepthinterviews carried out among neighbor young people, the existence of manifoldknowledge fractures and memory transmission about State violence is verified, being aresult from the social relations breakthrough that used to articulate the neighborhood andthe hospital, and from the material life conditions promoting undifferentiated historicaland political time awareness.
