TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Forensic civism: articulating science, DNA and kinship in contemporary Mexico and Colombia JO - Human remains and violence A1 - Schwartz-Marin, Ernesto A1 - Cruz-Santiago, Arely SP - 58 EP - 74 VL - 2 IS - 1 N2 - 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.
