| Summary: | To release from government’s amnesia the torture suffered by a significant proportion of women and men in Mexico, specifically, one segment of Ciudad Juarez’s population, requires an academic commitment. The time frame I analyzed are the years 2006-2015. I make a nexus between two Chicana/ Latina/Feminist theoreticians Nicole Guidotti- Hernández’s narratives of national amnesia; Lisa Marie Cacho’s people ineligible for personhood, and Achille Mbembes’s necropolitics; and Tzvetan Todorov’s governments’ four techniques to control memory. With this theoretical framework I try to comprehend why some women and men are converted into torturable subjects and their torturers remain unknown to the State.
