This is the result of the research for the project The narratives of Forgiveness from Literary Genres in Colombia, ascribed to the research line on Law, Conflict and Internationalization, by the research group Orbis Iuris, of the Fundación Universitaria Autónoma de las Américas, which focuses its research problem on the configuration of forgiveness based on literary genres within the internal armed conflict in Colombia (1948-2016). This research was slated two one-year phases. For the first one, the specific objective was to recreate the configuration of forgiveness based on the chronicles of the armed conflict in Colombia (1948-2016). This is where the current outcome arises as a chapter of in-depth theoretical research on chronicles and material on the internal armed conflict in the country. In order to carry it out, the qualitative model of historical-hermeneutic studies of legal science was used --an approach that made it possible to conduct a process of interrelation and interpretation of the internal armed conflict, narrative, and chronicle categories, thereby perceiving its significance as a space for building forgiveness, as the account of the experience of evil is designed to make the experiences suffered endure, thereby becoming consolidated as a testimony that enables ethical-political learning, recognition and memory.

Keywords : journalistic chronicle; internal armed conflict; memory; forgiveness; reconciliation.
