Opis:It is addressed one of the topics of transnational studies: contact zones. In this case it is a “zone” embodied in an Argentine civil intelligence agent who served in different Latin American countries like Bolivia and Guatemala in the 80s. From the study of documentary sources (state communications, newspapers, secondary bibliography and oral testimonies) an attempt was made to make a historical reconstruction of the character's itinerary and an analysis of the case within the framework of events of the Latin American Cold War, specifically the collaboration networks between dictatorial governments. It is concluded that the participation of this agent allowed the connection between different personalities, organizations, governments, institutions and networks for the coordination of repression in the Latin American 80s.
