“They call me the disappeared” coexistence and continuity between enforced disappearance and social disappearance

In this article I analyze one of the forms of contemporary overflow of the category of "disappearance", by which it goes on to designate forms of invisibility, exclusion and violence that are very different from the one that defined its original framework. In particular, I trace a relationship of continuity between the forms of original forced disappearance - exemplified in the emblematic case of the Chilean military dictatorship - and the forms of "social disappearance" in contemporary liberal democracies. Starting from the relationship between political concepts such as the concentration camp, the doctrine of shock or exception, and the analysis of some cultural products, we explore the possibility of speaking about a deterritorialization of the concentration camp in contemporary forms of disappearance and pose the key question if it is possible that, in its conditions of radical exclusion, some way of listening to the word of the new social disappeared is possible.
