“La voz de las familias, una mirada después del conflicto”: el cambio en la construcción narrativa de la identidad de familias que han pasado por un proceso de reintegración del grupo armado FARC-EP

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to understand the change in the narrative construction of the identity of families that have gone through a process of reintegration of the FARC-EP, in which three family groups, resident in the city of Bogotá participated or neighboring municipalities, in which at least one of its members has been reinstated. For the development of the same, the phenomenon of investigation is approached from the qualitative methodology of second order, through the strategy of reflexive conversational scenarios, making visible the different stories that the families have constructed throughout their life and from the experience of the reintegration process. The information obtained was interpreted by means of a categorical analysis, in which the stories were classified into three categories (narrative change, narrative construction of the family identity and experience of the reintegration process) which in turn contained 6 subcategories (family organization, beliefs and meanings, community networks, uniqueness, institutionality and social transformation actions). As results, it is recognized the construction of family models beyond traditional canons as well as the importance of the establishment of community networks, which allow the emergence of enabling stories, making their relationship patterns more flexible after the reintegration process. In addition, in view of the institutional insufficiency that they perceive, the agency of the ex-combatants is highlighted from transformative actions that contribute to the reconciliation and repair of the social fabric.
