Abstract

La Masacre de Trujillo is one of the most rugged and infamous experiences of the Colombian armed conflict and also one of the case studies with begins about how to narrate the violence, alluding to words and images from the point of view of the victims, who find an opportunity in the current peacebuilding process in Colombia, also known as post-conflict or post-agreement. This article analyzes the way in which stories have been consolidated that ponder an approach to "the truth" of what happened, a matter that does not only correspond to an expectation of objectivity, but to an experience of a symbolic order in which communication processes have the ability to provide victims with a place for deliberation from and through photography. For these purposes, a compilation of photographic material has been made through which the underlying tensions between the official history and the memory of those affected are presented.
