Beskrivning

All over the world, people disappear from their families, communities and the state’s bureaucratic gaze, as victims of oppressive regimes or while migrating along clandestine routes. This volume brings together scholars who engage ethnographically with such disappearances in various cultural, social and political contexts. It takes an anthropological perspective on questions about human life and death, absence and presence, rituals and mourning, liminality and structures, citizenship and personhood as well as agency and power. The chapters explore the political dimension of disappearances and address methodological, epistemological and ethical challenges of researching disappearances and the disappeared. The combination of disappearance through political violence, crime, voluntary disappearance and migration make this book a unique combination.

Recensioner i media

“This volume is of an excellent standard. The range of case studies chosen highlight the many forms that disappearances can take, and how the particular circumstances of the missing impact on those left behind …Ethnographic content and participant/informant interviews are used very effectively and sensitively.” • Layla Renshaw, Kingston University.“The book can be taken as a compendium of political, moral, emotional, legal and other classifications of disappearances and of the rationalizations under which searches for the disappeared take place …The collection presents various important, discomforting, alternative political discourses and practices of knowledge.” • Maja Petrović-Šteger, Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts
