| Summary: | This article enquires about the role of collective memory events of political violence
victims of some organizations in three regions of Colombia, eastern Antioquia,
southern Cordoba, and Medellin city on the processes of subjective and emotional
transformations. It is made from a psychosocial perspective using a hermeneutic
phenomenology approach. Life stories were developed with in-depth interviews to 32
people (26 women and 6 men) of Eastern Antioquia, 13 people in southern Córdoba
(10 women and 3 men) and 13 mothers of Candelaria; 4 women life stories of the
three regions studied; and 19 focus groups with participants of victims processes of
the three regions. All these stories were transcribed and analyzed by the categorical
analysis method by matrix. Emotional affectations of the victims and following
emotional transformations arising by group, collective and public memory events in
individuals and collectives involved in the execution of these actions are presented
outlining a Psychosocial view that allows to approach from research and intervention
to psychological, social and political phenomenon. |
