Abstract

Knowledges, Trans Activisms, and Epistemological Justice as Collective Reparation in Colombia. Nómadas [online]. 2020, n.53, pp.69-85.  Epub July 02, 2021. ISSN 0121-7550.  https://doi.org/10.30578/nomadas.n53a4.

Based on the experiences of trans people and groups, the article argues that, although the interest on peace issues and political transition by subordínate groups responds to a long history of activism, it runs the risk of reproducing and renewing frameworks of injustice if there is not a review of the epistemologies supporting such inclusion and consideration. It presents four cases that il-lustrate different forms of epistemological injustice in relation to the understanding of structural violence, the effects of the armed conflict in Colombia, and the construction of peace from the perspectives of trans people and their organizations. From here, it posits three strategies by which epistemological justice can contribute to the collective reparation of trans people and other subordinate social subjects.

Keywords : Transitional Justice; Activism; Collective Reparation; Epistemological Injustice; Peacebuilding; Transgenderism.
