“El hombre más allá de la guerra”: Construcción narrativa identitaria de hombres que han participado como combatientes en las dinámicas del conflicto armado Colombiano

Abstract

The above mentioned, was carried out through the establishment of reflective conversational scenarios with four men that had participated in the armed conflict in Colombia in different groups, like the Colombian National Army, the Colombian Navy, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - Army of the People (FARC - E.P). and the National Liberation Army (ELN) from the investigative qualitative notions of second order, where there emerge narratives around themselves, their life stories, understandings and questioning of the armed conflict, in this way, to include emerging stories about their identity and narratives that distance themselves from “being combatant”, which contradict the dominant discourses concerning armed conflict. This made possible the co-construction of rooting for change and the humanization of armed dynamics. To analyze the information, categorical analysis with the objective to recognize the interaction between the different conceptual categories which were articulated with conceptual / methodological categories of the conversational narrative like “History”, “Memory” and “Event” was used.
