This article will investigate the process of confronting death in cases of the disappeared of the last military dictatorship in Argentina. Based on the exhumation and identification of the body of a disappeared person, the article will reflect on how the person’s social situation can be reconfigured, causing structural changes within the family and other groups. This will be followed by a discussion of the reflections generated by the anthropologist during his or her interview process, as well as an investigation into the author’s own experiences in the field. This intimate relationship between the anthropologist and death, through the inevitable contact that takes place ‘among the bodies’, causes resonances in the context both of exhumations and of identifications in the anthropologist’s wider fieldwork.
