This article emphasizes the importance of the study of forced political exile during the last Argentine military dictatorship and exposes the richness of its historical reluctance in social memory; its effects on the changes of ideas; in national and international political structures and processes; as well as the permanence of exile as a determinant event in long historical history. The investigation depicted on that exile characterizes it as a vital experience of human rights violation and throws elements that derive from past conjunctures, which talk about the past in historical, personal and social key, as well as providing information about the present and the future. Exile in its multiple aspects shows a density that contains structural elements of the past. This work of political analysis poses three dimensions of exile: political, migratory and transnational and proposes as a methodology biographical reconstruction to contribute to historical memory and to rescue the political capital of exile. That political capital was made up of those exiled subjects, many great political and professional persons and their actions through transnational networks of influence that provided fundamental changes in the ideas of human rights, democracy, research or activism with a perspective of rights. The academic evaluation of exile is recent, and its entry into research agendas from various disciplines such as political science and international relations is in a slow development. Similar and equidistant points, such as forced displacements, diaspora; the transnational leadership and citizenship, the children of exile; the first and second generations of migrants, the return motivate the dialogue between the study field of international migration and exile studies. © 2018 Aschendorffsche Verlagsbuchhandlung.
