Digital Altars and Migrant Death in Mexico

  • Resumen

  • In this week's episode, guest Xiomara Cervantes-Gómez discusses her article "Where Blackness Dies: The Aesthetics of a Massacre and the Violence of Remembering," which analyzes the digital altar created to commemorate the lives of 72 Central American migrants massacred in Mexico in 2010. Cervantes-Gómez builds on this analysis to interrogate the sensationalist depictions of migrant death, the affordances and limitations of digital media for attending to the divine, and, ultimately, the politics of blackness in the context of Mexico and the American continent.
