title = "The Scilingo Effect and the Specified",
abstract = "This chapter is an unprecedented investigation into the testimony of Adolfo Scilingo, a Navy lieutenant during the Argentine dictatorship and official state murderer of over 30 political prisoners, and de facto leader of the junta, General Jorge Videla. I first take on the famous text of his confession to journalist Horacio Verbitsky, El vuelo and argue for the necessary understanding of his confession as a failure of the strength of dictatorship and state terrorism to maintain its commitment to the specified logic of individuation. I then take Videla{\textquoteright}s confession to illustrate the movement of the specified as the formation of a bellic subjectivity.",
