La Escuelita. Relatos testimoniales es el título de la obra de Alicia Partnoy, víctima de la represión de la dictadura militar argentina en los años setenta. En este libro, Partnoy relata su propia experiencia, así como la de sus compañeros de prisión. Este trabajo propone que a través de recursos retóricos como el lenguaje infantil y la inclusión de símbolos como el pan y la venda sobre los ojos de los presos, Partnoy acerca al lector a las sensaciones físicas y percepciones de los cautivos y, a partir de éstas, a la experiencia y el significado del cautiverio. En este sentido, la autora consigue una identificación del lector con los prisioneros y el rechazo total hacia sus opresores.
The Little School. Tales of Dissapearance and Survival is the title of the testimonial book by Alicia Partnoy, who was incarcerated by the military government in Argentina during the decade of the 70s. In this book, Partnoy tells her own experience in prison and that of other victims of the regime. This article suggests that the work of Partnoy includes rhethorical tools such as the use of childish language and the insertion of symbols like a piece of bread and a blindfold covering the prisoners’ eyes, which render the reader closer to the prisoners’ perceptions and feelings. In this way, Partnoy’s account enables the reader to explore by himself the prison experience. The author achieves an identification of the reader with the prisoners, as well as negative feelings towards the oppressors.
