DESCRIPTION

Narratives of the Armed Conflict in Colombia

This book is an interdisciplinary project centering on the testimonios of survivors in order to understand experiences of violence arising from the armed conflict in Colombia. The concepts of Testimony, Narrative and Memory are mobilized across the chapters to explore how survivors reconstruct experiences and imagine new ways of knowing and being.


This book is a collaborative project which centres on the testimonios of more than 100 survivors of the harsh realities of the 80-year Colombian armed conflict, drawing on multiple disciplinary areas and practices: linguistics, philology and linguistics, education, journalism, academia, art and film, literature, human rights, sociology, urban geography, cosmogony and grassroots activism. Using extracts from testimonios in multiple forms – oral, written, film, textiles – and mobilising the concepts of Testimony, Narrative and Memory, the book explores how survivors of all ages configure and reconfigure their experiences, worldviews and identities, striving towards the building of new knowledges which will help ensure the non-repetition of violence. The book will be of interest to all who are committed to understanding conflict and post-conflict societies in the search for peace.
