Los asuntos concernientes a las políticas de la des/aparición son amplios, variados y complejos. Atendiendo a los procesos históricos y a las categorizaciones de la (des)aparición que de ellos se derivan, en este trabajo identificamos dos entradas analíticas que consideramos principales. En primer lugar, abordamos el significado de la aparición y la desaparición desde la perspectiva de la teoría política liberal. En concreto, analizamos cómo regímenes políticos distintos se relacionan con el individuo-ciudadano y el espacio púbico. En segundo lugar, respondiendo a una asentada tradición teórica que calibra la desaparición en relación a las políticas de la vida, evaluamos sus aportes y sus déficits explicativos para entender la cuestión en sus diversas manifestaciones históricas. Finalmente, luego de ensayar una tipología de la desaparición, el texto cierra con reflexiones sobre cómo abordar la historicidad de la desaparición y preguntas de investigación en relación a los dispositivos de desaparición y aparición contemporáneos.The politics of dis/appearance concern a wide variety of complex issues. Engaging with historical processes and the different categorizations of (dis)appearance that they have engendered, we identify, in this article, two key analytical approaches: First, we consider the meaning of appearance and disappearance within the liberal political theory. More specifically, we consider how different political regimes have related to the individual-citizen and the public space. Second, we reflect on the inputs and shortcoming of the studies in biopolitics, their understanding of disappearance as part of the politics of life and their different historical manifestations. Third, we consider a possible approach to understanding what we have termed as ‘social disappearance’. Finally, after drafting a typology of disappearance, the article ends with some reflections on how we can approach the historicity of disappearance and with several research questions concerning contemporary devices (dispositif) or apparatus of disappearance and appearance.
