Abstract In this paper I propose to address the public expressions of the claim made for the death of a 17- year- old boy in the police station of Capilla del Monte (Córdoba, Argentina). Such death led to the claim by a group of people for the dead of the young man and for institutional violence, resulting in several mobilizations in the city. My paper focuses o n a processual analysis of the anniversaries of the death of the y oung man to problematize the place of the family role . This has allowed me to understand the local meanings of disputes and encounters forged in the claim for institutional violence within the province of Córdoba. The political activities that took place year after year have undermined the problematization of the search for justice and the role of the victims’ relatives in them.

Keywords : Death; Public Claim; Family; Assembly.
