TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Missingness: the social realities of physical absence JO - Illness, crisis and loss A1 - Stewart, Erin SP - 388 EP - 396 VL - 28 IS - 4 N2 - When somebody goes missing, they are missing by virtue of the fact that their whereabouts is unknown. However, being missing is not merely a physical phenomenon--it is socially and politically constituted and has social and political implications. These complexities are explored in this article through the term "missingness," which refers to the sociality of lost individuals and describes the relational context under which people go missing and are understood to be missing.
