SANUDO, María Fernanda et al. Collective Reparations and Production of the Common: The Case of La Sonora (Trujillo, Valle del Cauca). Desafíos [online]. 2021, vol.33, n.2, pp.209-244.  Epub Apr 20, 2022. ISSN 0124-4035.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/desafios/a.8405.

In rural areas of Colombia, the complex dynamics associated with the armed conflict negatively impacted social ties and relationships, community organizing practices and processes, traditions as well as collective trajectories. The Colombian State has dealt with these impacts through collective reparation; namely, a set of strategies aimed at reconstructing the collective meaning of communities, organizations and groups that have faced the systematic violation of their rights. Given its (collective) nature, reparation makes possible the generation of spaces and forms of social cooperation aimed at the symbolic and material reproduction of life, that is, of processes of production of the common. We explore the collective reparation process carried out in the municipality of Trujillo (Valle del Cauca) through an ethnographic approach. The in-depth understanding of this process shows how the strategies implemented in the territory operate in the constitution of conditions for the production and reproduction of social life.

Keywords : Collective reparation; common; communing; armed conflict; transitional justice; Colombia; Cauca.
