Time and the remains of war: Retazos of morgues and minefields in Colombia
Recently, the Army and FARC-EP guerrillas widely deployed aerial bombardment and improvised landmines in Colombia as warfare technologies to control territories and contain adversaries. These devices kill and mutilate bodies, and penetrate and scar landscapes. What can explosive military technologies and their aftermath tell us about how morgue doctors, demining surveyors, and campesinos sense and temporalize the materiality of war? This paper is…
Response to commentaries to explosiveness: Territories of war and technoscientific practice in Colombia
Ethnographic concepts are lively. This is true for explosiveness. Deeply situated and contextual, its reverberations may take multiple paths and nuances across space, time, and even disciplinary concerns. In this response to the commentators’ engagements with our article, we are particularly interested in how they signal some initial intriguing pathways for the conceptual echoes of explosiveness. Prompted by their responses, we return to several …
Explosiveness: Territories of war and technoscientific practices in Colombia
La Serranía de la Macarena has been a crucial scenario in the Colombian war. In this region, the army and FARC-EP guerrillas widely deployed aerial bombardment and improvised landmines to control the territory and contain their adversaries. This article is a collaborative ethnographic exploration of retazos-snippets of material-discursive practices we collected in our fieldworks: a demining project and a state morgue. What can explosive military …
Otherwise
In this article we offer the term otherwise as a keyword for feminist vocabulary. We consider how the otherwise is simultaneously a concept, an analytics, a method, and an ethico‐onto‐political commitment to the insistence of the possible against the pull of the probable. The otherwise conjures latent possibilities and potentialities held within a situation or formation—which we might only glimpse obliquely, yet which holds or opens to liberatory…
Corpo-real ethnographies: Bodies, dissection planes, and cutting. Ethnography from the anatomy laboratory and the public morgues in Colombia
Is there a mode to our doing ethnography together that we should be thinking about conceptually? This was the guiding question, of sorts, that opened the path for this text. We suggest there is one, and we call it corpo-real ethnography. Out of our ethnographic fieldworks in an anatomy laboratory and the public morgues in Colombia, here we conceptualize how that mode takes form and what it does to the practice of doing ethnography. Drawing from M…
