Memoria histórica de la violencia política en el Sur Occidente de Norte de Santander entre 1940 y 1950.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to reconstruct the narratives of the historical memory on political violence in the social framework between the 40's and 50's of the 20th century, in the municipalities of Cácota, Chitagá, Mutiscua, Pamplona, Pamplonita and Silos. The methodology is designed in four specific phases: The Preparatory Phase in which the design of the research project was reflected upon, highlighting the formulation of the problem and determining the scope and objects of study. Fieldwork Phase: the approach to the field, Analytical Phase: the results are generated through the reduction of the data provided by the informants or those characteristics that emerged from the process of observation and approach to the context. Finally, the Informative Phase: with which the research report is formulated and presented based on the scientific experience that was forged through the intervention process. In relation to the narration of the facts of violence that occurred in the southwest of Norte de Santander, it was established that the municipalities most affected by violence in the 1940s and 1950s were Cácota, Chitagá and Silos, due to the predominant conservative politics in these municipalities. In the jurisdictions of Pamplona and Pamplonita, despite the conservative tendency, not much attention was paid to the political tinge of its citizens; the few events that occurred were in rural areas and were not of much importance in the history of these municipalities
