MORALES, Esteban. What do we research when we study social media violence in Colombia? A systematic literature review. Investig. desarro. [online]. 2023, vol.31, n.2, pp.228-249.  Epub 12-Nov-2023. ISSN 0121-3261.  https://doi.org/10.14482/indes.31.02.814.456.

With the increase in the access and use of social media platforms in Colombia, it is expected that violent practices and discourses transfer to these digital spaces. Certainly, today's social media are part of the information and communication ecosystems of Colombians, where cultures of violence expand and transform. In this context, it is essential to explore the ways in which we examine and research social media violence, since understanding this phenomenon allows us to strengthen a culture of peace that better responds to the needs and experiences of the country's communities. Thus, this article seeks to explore how social media violence has been studied in Colombia, through a systematic literature review. Results show a complex trajectory of research in the country that includes various objectives, such as understanding the different ways in which violence is exercised through social media, or how it allows us to learn more about contexts of violence. Likewise, the results show that research is mainly focused on two platforms: Facebook and Twitter. Finally, the articles were found to be mainly focused on three types of violence: gender-based violence, violence related to armed conflict, and school violence. Overall, findings of this systematic literature review allow, on the one hand, to assess previous studies that have demonstrated the complex landscape of social media violence in the country, and, on the other hand, to discover possible gaps in the literature that could be addressed by researchers in the future.
