Manifestaciones vicarias a través de las narrativas de memoria, configuradas en el arte textil de una mujer víctima del conflicto armado colombiano

Abstract

The present investigation arose from the recognition that, over time, the victims have tried to communicate in ways and with multiple purposes their experiences in the framework of the Colombian armed conflict, and, from this process, various narratives have been formed. . The construction of memory narratives represents a fundamental axis in the elaboration of the stories about the Colombian armed conflict. In these narratives those that pretend to make an exemplary memory exercise stand out, that is, a liberating memory in which the meaning of the event is transformed in order to be able to relate it in a non-literal way and make the past a principle of action for the present ( Todorov, 2008). This builds, among other things, propazo actions or what Galtung cited by Calderón denomination as: Actions oriented to peace (2009). The memory narratives built by the victims of the Colombian armed conflict can be found in various artistic expressions, one of the most prominent focuses on the use of textile art as a tool to transmit messages. However, within the fabrics made, it is possible to find multiple relationships with different intentions. In the exercise of delimiting the present investigation, it was found that there is a category that crosses many of the textile pieces, it is the vicarious voice. That is, that testimony that is told by a third party, because whoever really lived the experience can no longer relate it (Sarlo, 2007). In this sense, for this case, the study focuses on describing how the memory narratives configured in textile art made by the weaver woman Blanca Nubia Díaz represent a vicarious voice.
