| Sumario: | Introduction: This article explores how the processes of searching for and identifying missing persons have become technical procedures and how they have been implemented. Methodology: Some search and identification tools created by the entities in charge of public policies on forced disappearance are systematized, and an ethnographyof the morgue and the laboratory of the National Institute of Legal Medicine in Bogotá is conducted. Results: The importance of the dialog between social sciences and forensic sciences in the historical reconstruction of what the internal armed conflict has been in Colombia is proven. Conclusion: The dialog between social scientists and forensic scientists allows to extend the concept of identification, beyond the sum of technical procedures that result in the identity of a person, thus contributing to the construction of new representation categories of violence. |
