De 1980 à 1995, le bilan des victimes s'élève à plus de 300.000 1 , Les massacres collectifs de cinq personnes ou plus sont innombrables. Pour les seules années 1988-1993, on en compte près de 900 qui ont fait plus de 5.000 … Show more

“…The proliferation of private armed groups in contexts of drug and political conflicts has generated employment opportunities for thousands of people. In the context of chronic unemployment and work instability, armed conflict violence is a career opportunity, an alternative to the informal economy of resourcefulness (Debos, 2011;Gayer, 2013;Pécaut, 1997). Hoffman (2011a) shows that fighters have an identity as workers, and are a workforce within the context of flexible post-Fordist modes of production (Hoffman, 2011a).…”

“…Ethnographic studies in Latin America have also explored how local ethics and differential representations toward the dead are constructed in violent contexts (Karandinos et al, 2015;Rodgers, 2015). The context of political and drug conflicts characterized by chronic unemployment and work flexibility, in which violence work provided career opportunities to young men, is relevant for understanding participation in paramilitary groups and militias as a form of "literal work" (Debos, 2011;Gayer, 2013;Hoffman, 2011a;Mazzei, 2003;Pécaut, 1997).…”

“…Según Pécaut, la población civil colombiana sitúa su propia vivencia dentro de una temporalidad de la violencia continua, que sigue siendo la misma desde los años cuarenta. El intercambio entre las dos estudiantes en pedagogía muestra cómo la violencia generalizada se integra dentro de la vida cotidiana de la población civil y cómo ella genera una manera de entender el mundo social (Pécaut, 1997). Más allá de una manera de ver el mundo, este intercambio nos muestra cómo la violencia puede ser aceptada cuando esta se ejerce con fines de control social y de orden.…”

“…Throughout the 1980s, inter-state borders, which Anthony Giddens defines as "power containers" (Giddens, 1987: 120), were transformed into intensely violent zones, where frontiers separating state and non-state actors became blurred and a wide-scale military transhumance propelled tens of thousands young men, including the future leaders of al-Qaida such as Bin Laden and al-Zawahari, from the Arab world to Pakistan and Afghanistan. While no external power could play the role of an arbiter or a regulator in the resolution of these conflicts, major regional states and non-state actors found themselves drawn into a "system of transaction" based on violence (Pécaut, 1997). This violence, which cannot be understood without taking into account the power relations at the macro, mezzo and micro-levels, thus appeared as a resource allowing the grand and small regional forces to ensure their durability.…”
