Epistemological translations and locations of the wounded flesh
Prácticas forenses y violencia en masa
ya tenemos cuarenta años de experiencia en América Latina en la aplicación de la antropología y la arqueología forense para la búsqueda de personas desaparecidas e investigaciones de violaciones graves de derechos humanos y del derecho humanitario internacional. A pesar de esta larga trayectoria de trabajo muy importante, lxs protagonistas más impactantes del meta-análisis en la literatura del trabajo forense y su impacto en los últimos años no h…
(Un)Doing the Colombian Armed Conflict
English Abstract: In 2005, Colombia enacted the Justice and Peace Law, which was a transitional framework for addressing the legal status of demobilised members of the paramilitary group Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia [United Self-Defence of Colombia] and other armed groups. In exchange for providing intelligence on the whereabouts of the bodies of people these groups had kidnapped and killed, prison sentences could be reduced. Forensic experts …
De guerrilleros a víctimas; de héroes a perpetradores
En este texto abordamos cómo las prácticas forenses de investigación e identificación participan en la producción de ciertos tipos de víctimas y de perpetrador en el marco del conflicto armado colombiano. Argumentamos que la identificación forense, como cualquier otra práctica, produce aquello que estudia. Acá nos referimos al caso conocido como los "falsos positivos": jóvenes civiles, sin nexos con grupos guerrilleros, que fueron engañados con f…

Of flesh and bone
As I set out to write about my research process with forensic anthropologists in a country with a long-lasting armed conflict, I was unable to ignore the imminent role that affect and emotions play in my practice and in my relationship with this topic. I fought the urge to disregard the struggle implied in writing about my own practice. Thus, I reflect on the effects and affects that this fieldwork and its related methods have on my approach to t…
Notas forenses
Objective/Context: In this article, we focus on the symbolic and practical dimensions of the paramilitary’s management of the corporality of the enemy in their heyday after the unification of the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia and followed by the military in the framework of the Democratic Security Policy of former president Álvaro Uribe. To do so, we approach how these dimensions materialize, become evident, and circulate in the social s…
Challenges to the improvement of Colombian medical brigades aimed at the diagnosis of congenital heart disease
Qualitative research of brigades and the family experience of congenital heart disease is of current interest and has been previously neglected. This study aimed to explore the social factors conditioning outcomes of paediatric cardiology care in the setting of Colombian medical brigades and to identify feasible strategies to improve the experience of the beneficiary populations. Participants were selected using purposeful sampling. Semi-structur…
Brigadas de salud en cardiología pediátrica
This article explores the sociocultural aspects of a program of pediatric cardiology health brigades that provides care to children from low-income populations in peripheral regions of Colombia. We analyzed the brigades as a humanitarian strategy to close the gaps of inequity in access to health care, and as a particular context of the medical encounter, the experience of heart disease and the definition of care trajectories. Based on ethnographi…
Testigos modestos y poblaciones invisibles en la cobertura de la genética humana en los medios de comunicación colombianos
En este artículo exploramos cómo los medios de comunicación colombianos configuran la práctica de la genética humana, reproduciendo ciertos discursos estandarizados sobre ciencia que se encuentran atravesados por el género y la raza. Para este fin llevamos a cabo un análisis etnográfico de la cobertura de la genética humana (poblacional y forense) en dos de los medios de mayor penetración en el país en los periodos de 1992-2006 (periódico) y 2009…
