Description
Summary:When it comes to sexual violence in the context of the conflict, the effects increase compared to those of everyday life. [...]not only research and processes are required to provide knowledge on the forms of legal reasoning in cases of sexual violence in the conflict, but also on the importance of social and community processes, relevant because they provide information on aspects related to social subjectivity and social representations; to which psychoanalysis can add new perspectives addressing the implications of unconscious subjective positions. Aims This research aims to analyze the subjective position of a female former combatant of FARC-EP from the psychoanalytic categories of identification, fantasy and aggressiveness, with respect to sexual violence exercised by members of the armed group. Method & procedures This research analyzes the testimony obtained through an interview with a female former combatant of FARC-EP in the process of reintegration, who joined the guerrilla group at the age of 15 and demobilized at 26 years old.
