FRANCO MIGUES, Darwin. Technologies of hope. Technopolitical appropriations for the Search for Missing Persons in Mexico. The case of Las Rastreadoras del Fuerte. Comun. soc [online]. 2019, vol.16, e7280.  Epub June 19, 2019. ISSN 0188-252X.  https://doi.org/10.32870/cys.v2019i0.7280.

In Mexico -between 2006 and 2018- 36 265 people were disappeared; the ineffectiveness of the State has forced their families to lead the search. Las Rastreadoras del Fuerte do this by using various technologies to locate their bodies in clandestine graves. Its most powerful technopolitical action is to transmit its findings “live” to combat the official narrative that denies the existence of this crime.

Keywords : Disappeared; clandestine graves; technopolitics; necropolitics.
