The work describes the struggle for representation and search for Central American migrants who disappeared in their transit through Mexico, in which state, criminal and social actors participate. Among the latter, the Committees of Relatives of Missing Migrants stand out. Objective The article aims to show how from a state knowledge-power (technical and statistical), a notion of disappearance is built that hides its structural dimension and tries to settle in common sense, while it is confronted by strategies of visibility of organizations of relatives that represent disappearance not as isolated figures (official discourse), but from systematic absence and as part of a broader social pain. Method From a qualitative and critical perspective, data generated through ethnographic and documentary fieldwork during 2014-2015 in Honduras and Mexico are analyzed. These are approached through critical discourse analysis and an ethnographic and political reconstruction of the strategic deployment of the Committees of Relatives of Missing Migrants. Results The phenomenon of the disappearance of migrants takes place in a transnational field in which dynamics of mobility and circulation of people and things are disputed, and which is defined by state, geopolitical, criminal and cultural dynamics associated with the actions of narco-state actors. Conclusions The irruption of the Committees of Relatives of Disappeared Migrants in the transnational field implies strategies of territorialization, incidence and search, as well as forms of enunciation that directly answer the official representations about the phenomenon of the disappearance of migrants.

Novohispanic mestizo chronicles are characterized by their depiction of the origin, the past and the customs of their main towns and of the issues related to the conquest and evangelization of Mexico. Nevertheless, through a discourse tinged by the Christian rhetoric of the fall of Jerusalem, these chronicles also portray the ruins from which that new order emerged in an apparently harmonious way. In this paper I set out to highlight the themes of destruction and the world in ruins that underlie the subtle dissident criticism in the NovoHispanic mestizo chronicles. In order to do so, I give examples taken from Relación de Texcoco (1582) by Juan Bautista Pomar, an especially significant text because of its complex and shifting locus of enunciation, an element which is always present in mestizo chronicles.

The performative role of the museum as a 'historical map' has long served to construct strategic cartographies of identity and community. In addition, the nature of the relational experiences within museum spaces, places these histories and cartographies in a contact zone, in which structures of power and agency influence the locus of enunciation through which subjecthood and objecthood are derived. This essay examines the influential role of museums in Mexico in imaging, framing, and performing strategic configurations of mexicanidad. Particularly, I interrogate how museums have historically muted and made invisible the representation of Mexicans of African descent.Then, I analyze two important regional museums and theorize how they present a transition from objecthood to subjecthood, in which Afro-Mexican knowledge and consciousness is reified to configure an alternative mapping of African heritage within the space of museums and within constructions of racial formations and narratives of being and belonging in Mexico.

How can we research our practices as educational researchers from a post-foundational perspective? How can we build tools of intellection that explain the historical and biographical conditions of the individual who performs research in the educational field? This paper centers on the subject of a biography as a discursive/textual and political subject from a post-foundational perspective. The conceptualization turns to the categories of discourse (Laclau) and text (Derrida) as a theoretical enclave, and based on current research on the academic trajectories of educational researchers, four dimensions of analysis are developed: collective experience, academic professionalization, institutional life, and biographical educational experience. The purpose is to show some examples of the emergence of the subject of biographies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
