Motherhood & Archives: Facing Enforced Disappearance in Mexico (1970-2025)

During our course, we will analyze in a philosophical perspective the role that motherhood and archives have played in confronting the oblivion and injustice caused by enforced disappearance in Mexico. Our critical analysis will involve the close examination of three key elements: history, the archive, and justice. Some of the thinkers and writers who will allow us to address these elements are: Giorgio Agamben, Sayak Valencia, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Achille Mbembe, Susana Draper, Miranda Fricker, Sara Uribe, among others.
