DUICA, William. Epistemic injustice and redundant blame: building the case of structural violence against FARC’s ex-rebels. Estud.filos [online]. 2022, n.66, pp.267-287.  Epub 06-Sep-2022. ISSN 0121-3628.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ef.349070.

Based on Fricker’s conceptualization of epistemic injustice and moral justice forgiveness, I propose an analysis of the relationship between epistemic injustice and redundant blame. Situated in the Colombian post-conflict context, it is argued that the negative identity prejudices applied to former guerrilla members produce a kind of epis temic injustice and redundant blame that yields structural violence. It is suggested that a proper understanding of JEP and the Truth Commission’s work, as well as the concept of transitional justice, would work as interpretative resources to favour the ex-rebels testimonial credibility. I conclude that the exercise of power which manipulates the interpretative resources available for a collective understanding of practices of justice and forgiveness in the post-conflict, is the cause of the structural violence against ex-rebels.

Palabras clave : epistemic injustice; moral justice forgiveness; redundant blame; structural violence; Colombian post-conflict; transitional justice.
