Construcción de identidad de género de una pareja conformada al interior de las Farc a partir de contextos de socialización relevantes en sus historias de vida 

Abstract

This investigative exercise had for aim: to understand the construction of gender identity of a couple formed inside FARC by the socialization of the relevant contexts in their life stories, such as the original and currently family, armed group and other contexts related to the process of reintegration into civilian life, advanced by the Colombian Agency for Reintegration (ACR). The life story was used as the biographical method through in-depth interviews and interactive techniques (picture-word and silhouettes). To analyze the information, the transcripts were organized in a matrix that included epiphanies or the most significant events of the participant’s lives. Subsequently a unique life story and timeline was constructed and they were analyzed from an interpretative biography approach in the light of the concepts of identity and narrative. It was concluded that gender identity is a relational construction immersed in a historical process. It was identified in both participants a patriarchal and hegemonic gender roles, that they were given as part of an autonomous exercise of the family´s decisions, from the equal distribution of the power and the free and conscious choice of the most suitable interaction in the different relational contexts.
