Her research focuses onthe connections that certain artistic practices and forms of cultural activism maintain with the actions of resistance, the grieving processes, and the shaping of dissident memories, which areconducted by a number of civil society groups in contexts of violence and impunity. In her PhD thesis she analysed the public, political and sensitive dimensions of some of the collaborative projects that aimed topublicly display the figures of homicides anddisappearances resulting from Mexico\u2019s so-called \u2018war on drugs\u2019 as irreparable human losses rather than abstract numbers or \u201ccollateral damage\u201d.<\/p>\n
In the frame of this project, she studies the role of the portrait in the digital protests against enforced disappearance, and examines the meaning which notions such as \u2018public space\u2019, \u2018community\u2019 and \u2018direct action\u2019 acquire in the context of transnational collaboration schemes that emerge through the use of social media (working title\u201cFrom the unburied bodies to the absence of the disappeared.

Within the framework of the project, she is responsible for examining the legal dimension. Her research will focus on the relationship between law and memory (including memory practices) in cases of enforced disappearances in Mexico and elsewhere, as well as on the legal question of responsibility for human rights violations and international crimes in the Mexican context.\u00bb][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=\u00bbdefault\u00bb top_padding=\u00bb15″ bottom_padding=\u00bb25″ text_align=\u00bbleft\u00bb][vc_column_inner column_padding=\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00bb column_padding_position=\u00bball\u00bb centered_text=\u00bbtrue\u00bb background_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ background_hover_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ column_shadow=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_radius=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb width=\u00bb1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=\u00bbdefault\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00bb0.3″ column_border_width=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_style=\u00bbsolid\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00bbnone\u00bb enable_animation=\u00bbtrue\u00bb animation=\u00bbfade-in-from-bottom\u00bb][team_member image_url=\u00bb6483″ bio_alt_image_url=\u00bb6483″ team_memeber_style=\u00bbbio_fullscreen_alt\u00bb image_loading=\u00bbdefault\u00bb name=\u00bbSophie Dufays\u00bb job_position=\u00bbPostdoctoral Researcher\u00bb team_member_bio=\u00bbSophie Dufays holds a PhD in Philosophy and Letters from the University of Louvain (UCLouvain) and is specialist in Latin American cinema and culture.<\/p>\n

She is the author of El ni\u00f1o en el cine argentino de la postdictadura (Tamesis 2014) and Infancia y melancol\u00eda en el cine argentino (Biblos 2016) and co-editor of two books about the uses of popular songs in Latin American and European Cinemas (published in Libraria, 2018 and Peter Lang, 2019).<\/p>\n

\nIn the frame of this project, she is interested in the impact of digital culture and resources in the conception and diffusion of audiovisual works produced about the disappeared in Mexico (especially related to the Ayotzinapa case), considering all formats. In particular, she analyses the treatment of faces, voices and landscapes in these works using the concepts of trauma, affect and waste, in order to approach the complex relationship between \u201cmemory\u201d and \u201cdisappearance\u201d.\u00bb][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00bb column_padding_position=\u00bball\u00bb centered_text=\u00bbtrue\u00bb background_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ background_hover_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ column_shadow=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_radius=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb width=\u00bb1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=\u00bbdefault\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00bb0.3″ column_border_width=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_style=\u00bbsolid\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00bbnone\u00bb][team_member image_url=\u00bb6479″ bio_alt_image_url=\u00bb6479″ team_memeber_style=\u00bbbio_fullscreen_alt\u00bb image_loading=\u00bbdefault\u00bb name=\u00bbFabiola Navarro\u00bb job_position=\u00bbPostdoctoral Researcher\u00bb team_member_bio=\u00bbFabiola Navarro has a PhD in Science and Arts for Design from Universidad Aut\u00f3noma Metropolitana- Xochimilco, and is a research fellow on digital media at KU Leuven.

Her interest lies in the relationship of digital media and citizenship. To determine the role of digital memories in the movement of enforced disappearance in the Hispanic world, she studies the media attributions in a global era as a reinforcement of a civic culture of rights. Emerging from previous social and digital movements, she sees hipermedia practices as vital for social struggle.\u00bb][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00bb column_padding_position=\u00bball\u00bb centered_text=\u00bbtrue\u00bb background_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ background_hover_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ column_shadow=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_radius=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb width=\u00bb1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=\u00bbdefault\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00bb0.3″ column_border_width=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_style=\u00bbsolid\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00bbnone\u00bb][team_member image_url=\u00bb6480″ bio_alt_image_url=\u00bb6480″ team_memeber_style=\u00bbbio_fullscreen_alt\u00bb image_loading=\u00bbdefault\u00bb name=\u00bbMart\u00edn Zicari\u00bb job_position=\u00bbDoctoral Researcher\u00bb team_member_bio=\u00bbMart\u00edn Z\u00edcari is a PhD researcher in Cultural Studies.

\nHe is interested in the role of digital media in the shaping of social movements. In the framework of the project, his research focuses on the links between artistic actions and political participation in a digital context.
