Desaparición. La vida en sus límites (Disappearance. Life in the Limits)
Keywords:
desaparición, vida, límites, zona de indeterminación, disappearance, life, limits, zone of indeterminationAbstract
La vida y la muerte han estado en el centro de las investigaciones sobre la desaparición; la desaparición es una incógnita sobre esos estados: ¿están vivos? ¿han muerto? Esas incógnitas se entretejen con un proceso en el que vida y muerte han dejado de ser estados dicotómicos y encontramos hoy una zona de indeterminación cada vez más amplia entre ambos. En este texto reflexionamos sobre la definición de la vida y la muerte y sobre la producción de esa zona de indeterminación en la que, apostamos, habitan un número in crescendo de sujetos. Para el análisis de esas zonas de indeterminación nos apoyamos principalmente en trabajos de autores que han pensado bien la vida en los espacios de la desaparición forzada bien que estudian la vida en situaciones de vulnerabilidad y abandono. Esta reflexión nos permite abrir el interrogante sobre la vida cuando es llevada al límite que, argumentamos, sería el estado de vida en la desaparición.Life and death have been in the center of research on disappearance; disappearance is actually an unknown on those states: are they alive? Are they dead? Those unknowns are interwoven in a process where life and death constitute no longer a dichotomy and we find today a bigger zone of indetermination between them. In this text we reflect about the definition of life and death and about the production of that zone of indetermination that is today inhabited, we consider, by a larger number of subjects. For the analysis of those zones of indetermination we make use mainly of works by other scholars that have analyzed either life in spaces of enforced disappearance or studied life in situations of vulnerability and abandonment. This reflection allows us to open the question of life when it is pushed to the limits which, we argue, it is the form of life of disappearance.
