Why recall experiences of violence? Why do we, as anthropologists, inquire about painful stories? Can ethnography foster personal and collective reconstruction in societies that have experienced traumatic events? From what point of view is memory of traumatic life events constructed, and how is the narrative of memory interwoven in games of power and subordination on the one hand, and counter hegemony and self-affirmation, on the other? These questions are addressed by reflecting on a massacre that took place in Colombia in 2001: the Naya massacre. The article explores the use of ethnography to understand the way in which a group of people affected by this event reconfigure the meaning of life and inscribe what happened in certain cognitive-emotional schemes. In this process, the anthropologist's inquiry is more than a means of recovering the past; it becomes part of the action of reconstruction itself, due to the relationship that is established between the anthropologist and the participants: a reciprocal social affective tie that is projected on to the social action of both. |

I28-R145-1416_oai2025-11-17 Jimeno, Myrriam 2011-06-01 Why recall experiences of violence? Why do we, as anthropologists, inquire about painful stories? Can ethnography foster personal and collective reconstruction in societies that have experienced traumatic events? From what point of view is memory of traumatic life events constructed, and how is the narrative of memory interwoven in games of power and subordination on the one hand, and counter hegemony and self-affirmation, on the other? These questions are addressed by reflecting on a massacre that took place in Colombia in 2001: the Naya massacre. The article explores the use of ethnography to understand the way in which a group of people affected by this event reconfigure the meaning of life and inscribe what happened in certain cognitive-emotional schemes. In this process, the anthropologist's inquiry is more than a means of recovering the past; it becomes part of the action of reconstruction itself, due to the relationship that is established between the anthropologist and the participants: a reciprocal social affective tie that is projected on to the social action of both. ¿Para qué rememorar experiencias de violencia? ¿Por qué preguntamos los antropólogos por relatos de dolor? ¿Puede la etnografía ser una herramienta que aliente la reconstrucción personal y colectiva en sociedades que vivieron eventos traumáticos? ¿Desde qué punto de vista se construye la memoria de eventos traumáticos y cómo se inserta la narrativa de la memoria en juegos de poder y subordinación por una parte, y contra hegemonía y autoafirmación por la otra? Estas preguntas son abordadas a través de la reflexión sobre el caso de una masacre ocurrida en Colombia en el año 2001, la masacre del Naya. El texto reconstruye el uso de la aproximación etnográfica para comprender la forma en que un grupo de personas afectadas por este hecho reconforma el sentido de la vida e inscribe lo sucedido en determinados referentes cognitivo-emocionales. En este proceso, el ejercicio de indagación del antropólogo va más allá de ser un medio de recuperación del pasado para volverse parte de la acción de reconstrucción. Esto ocurre por la relación que se establece entre el antropólogo y el sujeto de estudio: un vínculo recíproco socio afectivo que se proyecta en la acción social de unos y de otros. Para que reviver experiências de violência? Por que perguntamos, os antropólogos sobre relatos de dor? A etnografia consegue ser uma ferramenta que ajude para a reconstrução pessoal e coletiva em sociedades que viveram situações traumáticas? Desde que ponto de vista se constrói a memória de eventos traumáticos e como ela se insere na narrativa da memória nos jogos de poder e subordinação, por uma parte, e a contra-hegemonia assim como a auto-afirmação pela outra? Essas questões são abordadas através da reflexão sobre a ocorrência de uma massacre acontecida na Colômbia durante o ano 2001: a chacina de Naya. Nesse texto se reconstrói a utilização de uma aproximação etnográfica com o intuito de entender a maneira em que um grupo de pessoas afetadas por este fato refaz o sentido da vida e inscreve o acontecido em determinados referentes cognitivos e emocionais. Neste processo, a pratica de indagação do antropólogo vai além de ser um meio de recuperação do passado para se volver parte da ação da reconstrução. Isto acontece pela relação que estabelece-se entre o antropólogo e o sujeito de estudo: um vínculo recíproco social e afetivo que projeta-se na ação social dos uns e dos outros. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/1416 10.34096/cas.i33.1416 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/1416/1357 Cuadernos de antropología social; Núm. 33 (2011); 39-52 1850-275X 0327-3776 Ethnography Memory Violence Victims Social recomposition Etnografia Memória Violencia V ítimas Recomposição social Etnografía Memoria Violencia Víctimas Recomposición social After the massacre: Memory as historical knowledge Después de la masacre: la memoria como conocimiento histórico Depois da massacre: a memória como conhecimento histórico info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cantropo&d=1416_oai |
