The uncovering of the bones constitutes evidence of the violence, while their transformations (exhumation, identification and re-inhumation) affects the social and geographical landscape. Less attention has been paid to those cases where no remains appear. Such cases allow us to analyse how silenced violence lingers in the daily lives of survivors, rooted in the land as it is a marker of the social inequalities affecting both the living and the dead. |
