Los textos que este libro presenta son fruto de varios años de reflexiones e intercambios interdisciplinarios. El Seminario Permanente de Violencia(s) y DD. HH., del Departamento de Historia de la Universidad Iberoamericana, desarrollado desde hace más de cinco años, ha servido de nicho para este intercambio y ha facilitado la incorporación de otras iniciativas e investigaciones independientes de miembros del grupo. Con el fin de comprender qué se entiende por violencia y cuáles son sus manifestaciones más severas en nuestros contextos latinoamericanos, en esta ocasión nos aproximamos a casos de estudio que nos han ayudado a comprender la dimensión y diversidad de los fenómenos asociados. Esto supuso también abordar las implicaciones que tiene la investigación sobre y en contextos de violencia, a lo que nos referimos, específicamente, en el primer capítulo. Partimos de reconocer la necesidad de discutir enfoques que nos ofrecieran un mapa amplio de interpretación de fenómenos asociados a las violencias, para superar ese lugar común, según el cual todos los fenómenos son el resultado del conflicto armado interno -en el caso de Colombia- y de la guerra contra el narcotráfico -en el caso de México-. La identificación de las particularidades de los fenómenos, el examen exhaustivo de los casos, el contexto situado en coordenadas de tiempo y lugar, el reconocimiento de actores y acciones, entre otros factores, han estado presentes en esta construcción.

This volume presents an interdisciplinary analysis of the practice of disappearances in Mexico, from the period of the so-called 'dirty war' to the current crisis of disappearances associated with the country's 'war on drugs', during which more than 80,000 people have disappeared. The volume brings together contributions by distinguished scholars from Mexico, Argentina and Europe, who focus their chapters on four broad axes of enquiry. In Part I, chapters examine the phenomenon of disappearances in its historical and present-day forms, and the struggles for memory around the disappeared in Mexico with reference to Argentina. Part II addresses the political dimensions of disappearances, focusing on the specificities that this practice acquires in the context of the counterinsurgency struggle of the 1970s and the so-called 'war on drugs'. The third section situates the issue within the framework of human rights law, by examining the conceptual and legal aspects of disappearances. The final chapters explore the social movement of the relatives of the disappeared, showing how their search for disappeared loved ones involves bodily and affective experiences as well as knowledge production. The volume thus aims to further our understanding of the crisis of disappearances in Mexico without, however, losing sight of the historic origins of the phenomenon.

Este libro se propone abordar algunas dimensiones del proceso de producción de “políticas públicas de memoria” que se desarrolló desde el Estado nacional durante los gobiernos kirchneristas (2003-2015). Para eso, toma como objeto de análisis la conformación e institucionalización de la Comisión de Trabajo por la Reconstrucción de Nuestra Identidad, que tuvo a su cargo la “reparación” de los legajos laborales de los empleados de la administración pública que fueron desaparecidos o asesinados por el terrorismo de Estado. Específicamente, el libro muestra de qué modo la práctica de memoria propuesta por la Comisión supuso el trazado de una línea de continuidad entre la “reconstrucción” de la identidad de los trabajadores estatales desaparecidos y la consolidación de una determinada identidad política. En ese marco, contribuye a delinear la “oferta de sentido temporal” que se produjo desde un conjunto de agencias estatales a la hora de recordar el pasado reciente en el período.

FROM THE BOOK:"I want to touch you and kiss you."You are my mother's sister and only one year older; you must have something of my mother in you."-A found child after being returned to her familySearching for Life traces the courageous plight of the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, a group of women who challenged the ruthless dictatorship that ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983. Acting as both detectives and human rights advocates in an effort to find and recover their grandchildren, the Grandmothers identified fifty-seven of an estimated 500 children who had been kidnapped or born in detention centers. The Grandmothers' work also led to the creation of the National Genetic Data Bank, the only bank of its kind in the world, and to Article 8 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the "right to identity," that is now incorporated in the new adoption legislation in Argentina. Rita Arditti has conducted extensive interviews with twenty Grandmothers and twenty-five others connected with their work; her book is a testament to the courage, persistence, and strength of these "traditional" older women.The importance of the Grandmothers' work has effectively transcended the Argentine situation. Their tenacious pursuit of justice defies the culture of impunity and the historical amnesia that pervades Argentina and much of the rest of the world today. In addition to reconciling the "living disappeared" with their families of origin, these Grandmothers restored a chapter of history that, too, had been abducted and concealed from its rightful heirs.
