失踪人员的家庭通常被理解为居住在一个特定的模糊空间，在短语“生活在地狱边缘”（霍姆斯，2008年）。为了探索这一不确定的基础，我们采访了25名家庭成员，以考虑人类的缺席是如何发生的，而不仅仅是在悲伤和损失之间的空间中感受到的（Wayland，2007）。在本文中，我们代表家庭作为积极的代理人在空间的故事“生活在地狱边缘”，我们提供了洞察到不同的策略搜索/ING（技术，身体和情感），他们从事定位他们失踪的成员或他们的新闻。对缺席的反应被证明与失踪人员的不稳定空间知识和随时间变化的情感行为密切相关。我们认为，搜索的做法不仅仅是定位的行动，但作为一个变革的过程，提供洞察家庭如何居住的情感动力和过渡，以应对正在进行的“失踪的情况”和模糊的损失（老板，1999年，2013年）。(C)2015作者爱思唯尔有限公司出版
Families of missing people are often understood as inhabiting a particular space of ambiguity, captured in the phrase 'living in limbo' (Holmes, 2008). To explore this uncertain ground, we interviewed 25 family members to consider how human absence is acted upon and not just felt within this space 'in between' grief and loss (Wayland, 2007). In the paper, we represent families as active agents in spatial stories of 'living in limbo', and we provide insights into the diverse strategies of search/ing (technical, physical and emotional) in which they engage to locate either their missing member or news of them. Responses to absence are shown to be intimately bound up with unstable spatial knowledges of the missing person and emotional actions that are subject to change over time. We suggest that practices of search are not just locative actions, but act as transformative processes providing insights into how families inhabit emotional dynamism and transition in response to the on-going 'missing situation' and ambiguous loss (Boss, 1999, 2013).
