Conflictos Individuales Y Colectivos En Las Novelas De Laura Restrepo
Conflictos individuales y colectivos en las novelas de Laura Restrepo Diego Símini Università di Lecce Laura Restrepo es colombiana, nacida en Bogotá en 1950. Participó activamente en la vida política de su país, de Argentina, México y España. Ejerció el periodismo y la docencia, tanto en Colombia como en otros países hispanos. La escritora ha publicado hasta la fecha seis novelas, precedidas por un reportaje-testimonio, Historia de un entusiasmo (aparecido primitivamente como Historia de una traición, Bogotá, 1986), que originó serios cambios en su vida, ya que tuvo que abandonar Colombia por las amenazas de muerte que recibiera a raíz de la revelación de cómo había fracasado el proceso de paz, e instalarse en México, donde empezó a escribir novelas.1 Su profesión de periodista le indicó el método de investigación y el propio marco narrativo de su primera novela, La isla de la pasión (México 1989), en que el lector tiene la sensación de leer un reportaje periodístico. También en otros textos, precisamente en Dulce compañía (Bogotá, 1996) y La novia oscura (Bogotá, 1999), se da la misma propuesta de lectura, basada en la relación hecha por una periodista de una investigación llevada a cabo para desentrañar un misterio, referido a una persona o a un episodio. En las demás obras no se halla este marco narrativo, aunque es posible vislumbrar algo análogo en La multitud errante (Bogotá, 2001), ya que la voz narrante es la de una mujer que va contando los acontecimientos y la evolución de su estado de ánimo de una manera que podría llegar a recordar el tono de un reportaje. -

The Colombian Transitional Process
International Journal of Transitional Justice, 2017, 0, 1–18 doi: 10.1093/ijtj/ijx033 Article The Colombian Transitional Process: Comparative Perspectives on Violence against Indigenous Women Mo´nica Acosta,* Angela Castaneda,~ † Daniela Garcı´a,** Fallon Herna´ndez,†† Dunen Muelas*** and Angela Santamaria††† ABSTRACT1 Colombia has a comprehensive system of truth, justice and reparation stemming from its history with the justice and peace process and its most recent peace agreement. Although indigenous women are the most affected before, during and after conflict, their participa- tion is marginalized within this political context. This article discusses how Colombian transitional justice can be reconfigured when indigenous women’s practices and knowl- edge travel ‘from the margins’ to the center. We seek to demonstrate how these practices legitimize gender and other types of violence in the name of tradition and also how indig- enous women’s experiences go beyond the gendered perspective of violence as a ‘weapon of war.’ Working within the context of the peace process, we gathered data through learn- ing and teaching techniques with indigenous women in three indigenous contexts (Sierra, Pan-Amazon region and Choco´). Our focus is on the interaction between local transi- tional justice practices and the violence against indigenous women, their resistance practi- ces and the peacebuilding agendas used to implement transitional justice in Colombia.
