Abstract

HENAO OROZCO, Ánderson. Contributions to Differentiated Understanding in the Accompaniment to Persons and Communities Victims of Antipersonnel Mines in Colombia. Trab. soc. [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.1, pp.153-175. ISSN 2256-5493.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ts.v22n1.79212.

The peculiarity of the Colombian armed conflict is the degradation of its war strategies, for example, the use of antipersonnel mines and/or explosive artifacts aimed not at killing, but at producing disabilities. However, for the victims, the use of such artifacts not only represents a profound resignification of their bodies. Beyond that, the existence of those explosives in their territory, and even the mere suspicion of their presence, is enough to transform the system of relations and meanings that fill individual and community life with a sense of purpose.

Keywords : antipersonnel mines; body; community; disability; territory; victim.
