El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el papel y la circulación del testimonio experto en solicitudes de asilo en Estados Unidos. A partir de mi intervención como perito experto en cinco solicitudes de hombres indígenas mexicanos y del testimonio oral en una de ellas, reflexiono acerca de cómo las cortes se convierten en espacios de disputa ante la negación de la veracidad de la víctima, sustentada en procesos burocráticos y legales revictimizantes. Analizo el lugar del testimonio experto y tomo en cuenta las tensiones entre la objetividad pretendida y el involucramiento afectivo del etnógrafo, el lugar que ocupa en la creación de una huella testimonial ante la negación del refugio, y sus usos y destinos ante la criminalización de sujetos y grupos.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract. This article seeks to analyze the role and the circulation of the expert testimony of the ethnographer in asylum cases in the United States. From my intervention as an expert witness in five requests involving Mexican indigenous men, and the oral defense in one of them, I will reflect on the way courts are becoming disputed spaces given attorney denial of the veracity of the victim. I argue that this negation is based on revictmizing bureaucratic and legal processes. I will analyze the role of the expert testimony in these processes, taking into account the tensions between the pretense of objectivity and the affective involvement of ethnography, the place testimony occupies in the construction of a testimonial trace that faces the negation of protection, and the uses and effects these testimonies have in the face of the criminalization of specific subjects and groups.]]></p></abstract>
