La búsqueda de personas desaparecidas, en el contexto de la guerra contra las drogas, se torna distinta cuando se desarrolla en una ciudad o un municipio pequeño; alejado de los principales centros político-económicos. Podríamos pensar que no existe la necesidad de cotejar dos realidades tan contrastantes, pero las experiencias de madres buscadoras que habitan municipios alejados de las urbes indican lo contrario. Así lo expresan los testimonios de mis interlocutoras que habitan Norte Grande -nombre ficticio que utilizo para referirme a la zona en que realizo trabajo etnográfico. Entre los resultados principales de esta investigación destaca la forma en que las buscadoras vocalizan un sentimiento de desamparo, que en buena parte radica en la manera en la cual la infraestructura burocrática de búsqueda tiene una baja presencia en sus territorios. En dicho sentido, el concepto de margen es fundamental para analizar los impactos de la guerra en aquellos lugares que conocemos como periferia o provincia.]]></p></abstract>

The search for missing persons, within the context of the war on drugs, takes on a different character when conducted in a city versus a small municipality, distant from the main political-economic centers. One might think there is no need to compare such contrasting realities, but the experiences of searching mothers living in municipalities far from urban areas indicate otherwise. This is expressed in the testimonies of my interlocutors who reside in Norte Grande -a fictitious name I use to refer to the area where I conduct ethnographic work. One of the main findings of this research is how the searchers vocalize a feeling of abandonment, largely stemming from the minimal presence of bureaucratic search infrastructure in their territories. In this regard, the concept of margin is essential for analyzing the impacts of the war in places we know as periphery or province.]]></p></abstract>
