Forced disappearance has hindered the development of conventional forms of mourning, but protocols have gradually emerged, establishing canonical ways of facing that difculty, while the concepts of ‘disappearance’ and ‘disappeared’ have been consolidated as effective transnational categories capable of explaining new forms of social violence. This article examines how in the new forms of disappearance the manifestations of mourning systematically deviate from the canon and acquire a complexity that exceeds the established tropes about it. It requires reimagining the dynamics of mourning in the new contexts of disappearance and, especially, in those of ‘social disappearance’.
