Merapi multiple
Gunung Merapi (Mountain of Fire) is the guardian of a cosmogonic-sacred landscape, and one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. Its eruptions are well studied, however, the relationships among ritual, science, protection and grassroots disaster management arising after the 2006 and 2010 eruptions are mostly overlooked. This paper fills this gap in the literature, through qualitative research that explores local perceptions and places res…
Biorecuperation, the epidemic of violence and Covid-19 in Mexico
COVID-19 has reinstated the sovereign enclosures of corpse management that mothers of the disappeared had so successfully challenged in the past decade. To explore how moral duties toward the dead are being renegotiated due to COVID-19, this article puts forward the notion of biorecuperation, understood as an individualised form of forensic care for the dead made possible by the recovery of biological material. Public health imperatives that forb…
Degrees of Mixture, Degrees of Freedom
Antigone’s forensic DNA database
Antígone’s tragedy and the search for the disappeared has been aesthetically and politically appropriated by artists and activists in Mexico. Reflecting about the relationship between futility, forensic technologies and the notion of a victim-political subject, this paper engages with the narratives of the families that constituted the governance body of a project known as ‘Citizen-Led Forensics’ which brought to the world the first forensic DNA …
Genomic Justice and Imagined Communities
In this issue of the Hastings Center Report, Maya Sabatello and Paul Appelbaum explore the assumptions about community embedded in the U.S. Precision Medicine Initiative, which aims to recruit donor‐partners who reflect the United States’ racial and ethnic diversity. As Sabatello and Appelbaum discuss, the initiative is like other national biobanking efforts in bringing to life an imagined genetic community in need of critical attention, and give…
Forensic civism
The article will present the findings of ethnographic research into the Colombian and Mexican forensic systems, introducing the first citizen-led exhumation project made possible through the cooperation of scholars, forensic specialists and interested citizens in Mexico. The coupling evolution and mutual re-constitution of forensic science will be explored, including new forms of citizenship and nation building projects - all approached as lived …
Pure Corpses, Dangerous Citizens
This paper recovers a vignette of a type of citizenship formed around the duties of relatives of disappeared persons in Mexico. It focuses on the men, women and children from Mexico and other countries who have disappeared and are possibly dead, waiting to be found in mortuaries and clandestine mass graves that are yet to be identified
Genetics
Genetics is the study of hereditary traits in populations and individuals. It is generally thought to be linked with genes (i.e., portions of DNA that codify for proteins); however, it is also very much interested in noncodifying regions of the genome that are informative of the variability within and between populations. A UNESCO statement of 1950 is commonly marked as the turning point between the “old” racial typological science and a “new” po…
Medical Sociology and Genetics
The breadth of sociological inquiries into medical genetic science is as varied as the social and technological settings it explores. These inquiries encompass experiences as diverse as lay engagement with prenatal genetic testing, reproductive technologies and biobanking, and in‐depth laboratory ethnographies about the making of population categories for medical genetics. Therefore it is just fair to state that the field of medical sociology and…
Colombian forensic genetics as a form of public science
This article examines the role that vernacular notions of racialized-regional difference play in the constitution and stabilization of DNA populations in Colombian forensic science, in what we frame as a process of public science. In public science, the imaginations of the scientific world and common-sense public knowledge are integral to the production and circulation of science itself. We explore the origins and circulation of a scientific obje…
Explaining the visible and the invisible
Using data from focus groups conducted in Colombia, we explore how educated lay audiences faced with scenarios about ancestry and genetics draw on widespread and dominant notions of nation, race and belonging in Colombia to ascribe ancestry to collectivities and to themselves as individuals. People from a life sciences background tend to deploy idioms of race and genetics more readily than people from a humanities and race-critical background. Wh…
Building the genomic nation
This article explores the relationship between genetic research, nationalism and the construction of collective social identities in Latin America. It makes a comparative analysis of two research projects - the 'Genoma Mexicano' and the 'Homo Brasilis' - both of which sought to establish national and genetic profiles. Both have reproduced and strengthened the idea of their respective nations of focus, incorporating biological elements into debate…
Bioprophecy and the politics of the present
In 1999, a small group of genomic entrepreneurs and local politicians started mobilizing the idea of founding a national genomics institute in Mexico. Approximately four years later, and after 18 months of congressional debate, the Mexican National Institute of Genomic Medicine (INMEGEN) was established by presidential decree. As scholars, we are interested in how the call for a high-tech, high-cost genomics institute was able to gain political t…
Biocoloniality, Governance, and the Protection of 'Genetic Identities' in Mexico and Colombia
In this article two case studies are compared, Mexico and Colombia, in which the protection of 'genetic identities' has generated political and legal systems designed to avoid the unlawful appropriation of biological material and/or DNA in Latin America. The very idea that genetic patrimonies belong to nation-states or ethno-racial groups - framed as genomic sovereignty or the protection of a disappearing indigenous genetic heritage - is the prod…
