GONZALEZ ENRIQUEZ, Lucía Leonor. Counter narratives in search of life: stories to restore humanity and combat oblivion. Andamios [online]. 2022, vol.19, n.50, pp.193-222. Epub 29-Set-2023. ISSN 2594-1917. https://doi.org/10.29092/uacm.v19i50.948.
More than 100,000 people are disappeared in Mexico, the urgency to find them has prompted groups to develop skills and knowledge to find their whereabouts and to conceive actions of resistance to oblivion and to appeal society to make its own their search and demand for justice. In this text I underline that the disappearance is also a discursive phenomenon where anonymity and criminalization of the victims of disappearance encourages the indifference and normalization of this crime; that the groups of victims generate counter-narratives that seek to subvert the hegemonic narrative about the disappeared and, based on three memory narratives, I propose that the counter-narratives in search of life seek to emphasize, not the disappearance, but the personality and daily moments of the absent people to generate resonance and build bridges of rapprochement towards those who are unaware of, or evade the depths of this crime in Mexico.
