Abstract
In a context of increasingly intensification of border control policies, this article analyzes how the process of identifying the bodies of migrants and refugees, work claimed by humanitarian initiatives in direct contact with families, driven by empathy and the search for the possibility of mourning, can have two outcomes: allowing humanity to lives that were naked and providing survival. Thus, one tries to resist the oblivion and non-identification of these bodies, understood as naked lives by the state and not subject to mourning. It is suggested that both are instruments for the maintenance of refugees in the collective conscience and pave the way for more humane policies.
