Abstract

The article will present the findings of ethnographic research into the Colombian and Mexican forensic systems, introducing the first citizen-led exhumation project made possible through the cooperation of scholars, forensic specialists and interested citizens in Mexico. The coupling,
evolution and mutual re-constitution of forensic science will be explored, including new forms of citizenship and nation building projects - all approached as lived experience - in two of Latin America's most complex contexts: organised crime and mass death.
