PEREZ FONSECA, Andrea Lissett. THE SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF A GUERRILLA. anal.polit. [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.87, pp.77-94. ISSN 0121-4705.  https://doi.org/10.15446/anpol.v29n87.60724.

This article seeks to contribute to the understanding of the permanence of the guerrillas in Colombia based on the reading of the social construction processes of said organizations, keeping aspects in mind such as their sociohistorical singularities, the diverse political actors comprising them, their subjectivities, the fighting and resistance traditions on which they are founded, and the strategies deployed for the implementation of such combat plans. As a case study, the paper examines the Ejército de Liberación Nacional, in Spanish, a guerilla group distinct for being operated by a mix of university students, farmers, oil workers, and Christians adhering to liberation theology whose coalescence brought this project to life and ensured its enduring significance.

Keywords : social construction; subjectivities; guerrilla; Colombia; ELN.
