ABSTRACT
In this text I make two central arguments. First, that enforced disappearance is a form of dispossession and it is manifested as a symptom of the neoliberal project, through processes of occupation and lordship (dueñidad). Second, that this project, expressed in the enforced disappearance of people, among other violences, is opposed by the pedagogies of searching, a group of practices that are generated from a collective embodied knowledge that brings back hope and u1633:542pholds the possibility of inhabiting fairer worlds. I support these arguments through ethnographic work carried out in Mexico over the last decade and, in particular, by describing the experience of Ana Enamorado, who is searching for her son Óscar Antonio López Enamorado, a Honduran young man, disappeared in Mexico.
