| description |
The article draws on our respective work on the transnational adoption files that ordered the movement of children from Guatemala to Europe in the latter part of the 20th century and up until 2007, to consider strategies to detect and figure the irregularities that underpinned these transnational adoption flows. We intersect approaches to deciphering the files drawn from anthropological research conducted in Guatemala, and in Europe in the context of work to support adoptees’ individual and collective search for origins. We provide an overview of the historical and political context, and the legal arrangements that underpinned the rise of transnational adoption flows from Guatemala (1977 – 2007). We consider how adoption files operate as entry points into searches for origins and understandings of the adoption process. When read against the grain, adoption files simultaneously reveal and occlude personal histories and bureaucratic practices. They evidence entrenched, varied and sometimes haphazard practices of forgery, omission and creation. Anomaly and incongruity in the files emerge as structing devices that reveal the operations of transnational adoption shadow circuits and counterfeiting as method. For those seeking historical clarification, deciphering forgeries and irregularities entails creating new registers of legibility of the adoption papers, the adoption process and the relationalities generated through their searches. |

El artículo se basa en nuestros respectivos trabajos con los expedientes de adopción transnacional que ordenaron el movimiento de niños de Guatemala hacia Europa en la última parte del siglo XX y hasta 2007, a fin de considerar las estrategias que permitieron detectar y descifrar las irregularidades que sustentaron esos flujos de adopción transnacional. Intersectamos enfoques para descifrar los archivos extraídos de la investigación antropológica realizada en Guatemala y en Europa en el contexto del trabajo para apoyar la búsqueda individual y colectiva de orígenes de los adoptados. Proporcionamos una visión general del contexto histórico y político, y los acuerdos legales que subyacen al surgimiento de los flujos de adopción transnacional desde Guatemala en el período 1977-2007. Consideramos cómo los archivos de adopción operan como puntos de entrada en las búsquedas de orígenes y comprensiones del proceso de adopción. Los archivos de adopción simultáneamente revelan y ocultan historias personales y prácticas burocráticas. Evidencian prácticas arraigadas, variadas y a veces caóticas de falsificación, omisión y creación. La anomalía y la incongruencia en los expedientes emergen como dispositivos estructurantes que ponen en primer plano las operaciones de los circuitos de la adopción transnacional y la falsificación como método. Para quienes buscan el esclarecimiento histórico, descifrar falsificaciones e irregularidades implica crear nuevos registros de legibilidad de los documentos de adopción, el proceso de adopción y las relaciones generadas a través de sus búsquedas.
