Description
Summary:Based on the idea that all knowledge production has to respond satisfactorily to the tripod epistemology-methodology-technique, in this text we argue that that triad is not fulfilled in researches on disappearance. In that area of research there are great epistemological and methodological reflections on the difficulties of the object, but not technical translation that corresponds to them. Our proposal is, thus, to take some virtuoso examples of research techniques in works on enforced disappearance and social disappearance to explore possible technical proposals that would adequately complete the triad epistemology-methodology-technique. This review allows us to propose the need of a technical approach to this study field that put in the center some sensitive strategies; among them, we underline two: an affected technical approach and a meticulous and detailed writing style.
