| Resumo: | [EN] The search for the human remains of victims of Francoist extrajudicial repression has led, in the last years, to the scientific exhumation and identification of thousands of bodies buried in mass graves. For some families who are unable locate the human remains of their executed relatives, however, exhumations have also become spaces in which to enunciate an incomplete family history. This article explores how the unsuccessful search for the body of the victim triggers relentless family inquiries with the aim to evince the life and death of a disappeared family member. Drawing on the results of the anthropological study carried out at an exhumation campaign in Extremadura, in 2011, it argues that these quests have given place to new family archives through which descendants make sense of a fragmented biography. The paper concludes that, in so doing, other intimate forms of identification and recognition of the disappeared relative take place at the heart of an archive often composed by the antagonistic traces that remain of Francoist repression |
