Living in two times: the work of collective memory reconstruction in Colombia

Abstract

Why rebuild the memory of the armed conflict in Colombia? Without a deep understanding of the past, an assertive vision of the present and the future cannot be built. Memory in Colombia is established as a collective challenge where testimonies, judicial processes and reparation of victims are documented. The past still does not pass and memory can be affected by certain degradations. As citizens, it is up to us to build a collective future where new routes are traced with hope and empathy.
