Marcos emerging narrative and counter-narrative of violence in Colombia

In this article, I intend to show, in the first place, how violentology as expert knowledge about violence in Colombia deployed a macroreading of the country which facilitated the representation of violence in terms of time, i.e., past, present and future, and at the same time concentrated social and institutional senses mobilizing and reconfiguring a system of truth about it. Then, in second place, I try to address the emerging counter-narratives exposing the struggle for meaning and alternative readings on the phenomenon.
