Drawing on fourteen months of ethnographic work, we analyze three population-making technologies (denuncias, biobanks, and bodies) that have emerged as dominant tools both on the part of governments and human rights advocates to capture the missing migrants. We conclude that missing migrants are a Population of Cognition that is both made legible and unknowable through specific technologies and delineations of crisis.

This article deals with the disappearance, replacement or transformation of particular neoclassical altarpieces in Seville, city and province, during the twentieth century. It also gives the reasons behind these changes. They are almost always due to liturgical adaptations, the ups and downs of fashion and the individual tastes of those promoting or commissioning particular works of art. Our aim is to highlight the more important cases to date and, as a result, to argue for the conservation and ...

Classic studies about memory tend to associate it in the first place with an art, the art of remembering things associating mental images to places. The art of memory was relegated to the area of the individual, while social memory was associated to historical processes. Today images are not associated to places, many times the image doesn’t even bring back to a body anymore. This is the case of the missing persons in Colombian conflict. The pictures of them alone without any association with places ...

Gatti assays an accounting of the overflow of desaparecidos beyond the enforced-disappearance genealogy of those deemed political dissidents in the Southern Cone to the proliferation of the term in contemporary human-rights discourse. From missing migrants in the Sonoran desert to stateless people in the canefields of the Dominican Republic, from the growing population of unhoused people in San Francisco to babies robbed in Spanish hospitals, Gatti tracks the category desaparecidos as one articulating abandonment across far-flung locales ...
