Serie N° 113: Arqueología de la institucionalización del concepto de desastre en acervos documentales: el Consejo de la Judicatura federal y la Inundación de 2007 en Tabasco, México.

Abstract

Based on Foucault’s proposal regarding archeology, an analysis of the flood event occurred in 2007 in the mexican state of Tabasco is carried out from the vision of the Council of the Federal Judicature as an administrative body of the Judicial Branch of the Federation, with the objective of identifying how the disaster concept circulates in the institution, and therefore, the way in which actions and structured intervention mechanisms are materialized to attend or ignore events that are conceptualized in said category and the impact they have on the institutional archives, as well as the way in which these decisions are reflected in the administrative documents of the institution to generate the milestones of the institutional memory.
