| description | Harry Potter carries on his body the scar of a disturbing origin. It carries secrets that himself does not know… but at the age of ten, a letter arrives at its destination and the lies about his family history begin to be revealed. Magic appears to him, then, as a strange influence that he does not know where it comes from. This hidden power directs him towards an adventure that involves returning to a terrible past that is updated, again and again, in the deception maintained by his uncles, who have been entrusted with his upbringing and care. We quetion ourselves, in this scenario, abour the place of the family in the human constitution and the subjective consequences of lying about origin, having as backdrop the Argentine case and the treatment given to childhood during the last dictatorship. What dos Harry teach us about the violation of identity? What is the long path of its revelation like? In the service of what is magic presented in this story? We locate three points that are articulated among themselves: the announcement of the lie about the origin, the proximity to the appropriations of identity in Argentina and the resource of magic as a vehicle that enables the elaboration of what remained hidden. |

Harry Potter lleva en su cuerpo la cicatriz de un origen inquietante. Esta porta secretos que él mismo desconoce… pero a sus diez años una carta llega a destino y las mentiras sobre su historia familiar comienzan a develarse. La magia se le presenta, entonces, como un influjo extraño que no sabe de dónde proviene. Este poder oculto lo encamina hacia una aventura que implica volver sobre un pasado terrible que se actualiza, una y otra vez, en el engaño que sostienen sus tíos, a quienes se les ha encomendado su crianza y cuidados. Nos interrogarnos, en este escenario, por el lugar de la familia en la constitución humana y las consecuencias subjetivas de la mentira sobre el origen, teniendo como telón de fondo el caso argentino y el tratamiento dado a las infancias durante la última dictadura. ¿Qué nos enseña Harry sobre la vulneración de la identidad?, ¿cómo es el largo camino de su develamiento?, ¿al servicio de qué se presenta la magia en esta historia? Ubicamos tres puntos que se articulan entre sí: el anoticiamiento de la mentira sobre el origen, la proximidad con las apropiaciones de la identidad en Argentina y el recurso de la magia como vehículo que posibilita la elaboración de lo que permanecía oculto.
