ROMERO, Juan Pablo Aranguren. Effectiveness of Harm and Blurring of the Subject: Approaches to Narratives of Suffering in the Colombian Armed Conflict. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2017, n.60, pp.62-71. ISSN 0123-885X.  https://doi.org/10.7440/res60.2017.05.

In this article I discuss some ways of relating to human suffering that have characterized research undertakings and the practice of defending human rights in Colombia that have constituted certain types of narratives about war and political violence in the country. I argue that these modes of relationship have been partly delineated by the logics and grammars of war and violence, and have contributed to blurring the inter-subjective storylines that make testimony possible, which calls for critical reflection on the impacts of war and violence from an ethics of listening.

Palavras-chave : Ethics; Colombia; war; harm; listening; political violence.
