Abstract
[spa] Esta tesis explora memorias de violencia en Colombia ligadas a la ubicuidad de la guerra y sus agentes, que han producido el desarraigo de colectivos sociales o individuos en momentos históricos concretos. Los ejercicios de memoria emprendidos con una comunidad rural del occidente del Departamento de Antioquia, con habitantes urbanos del Barrio Popular en el sector nororiental de Medellín y con migrantes colombianos en Barcelona; muestran los profundos efectos que han tenido en sus vidas el terror y la movilidad forzada, pero también permiten reconocer las estrategias creativas que han desplegado para afrontar los desgarramientos y las pérdidas. Los relatos abordados diacrónicamente resaltan la importancia de las memorias y las trayectorias individuales o de pequeños grupos para comprender un fenómeno tan relevante y complejo para la sociedad contemporánea como es el de la movilidad humana. La relación entre los saberes locales y las memorias en fuga suscitan una reflexión en torno a la geopolítica de la memoria, derivada de una metodología de exploración etnográfica que busca aportar instrumentos novedosos al campo de estudio de la antropología de la memoria.
[eng] This thesis explores memories of violence in Colombia linked to the ubiquity of war and their agents, which have been uprooted social groups or individuals in specific historical moments. Memory exercises were done with a rural community in western Antioquia, with urban dwellers in the neighborhood El Popular in the north-eastern sector of Medellin and with Colombian immigrant in Barcelona. All of these memory exercises show the profound effects in the individual lives of the mobility terror forced, but they are also useful for recognizing the creative strategies that have been deployed to deal with tears and losses. The stories discussed diachronically highlight the importance of the individual or the small group memories to understand a phenomenon as complex and relevant to contemporary society such as human mobility. The relationship between local knowledge and the escaping memories raises a reflection on the geopolitics of memory, derived from an ethnographic exploration methodology that seeks to provide innovative tools to the field of study of the anthropology of memory.
