Description
Summary:This text explores, in the context of the process implemented by the Law 975 of 2005 or Ley de Justicia y Paz (the legal framework charged with facilitating the demobilization of members of the Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia, also known as paramilitaries), a concrete legal space in which confession, judicial, and historical truth are intertwined. This paper is particularly interested in a reading of the Law that pays attention to the production of this everyday life. In this scale of interaction the Law forges a range of encounters in which negotiations over the meanings of the past and the future are intertwined in complex ways with culturally and socially informed ideas of victimhood, dignity, truth, justice, guilt, injustice, and historical causality.
