This research project is centered on the tight relationship between the articulation of social imaginaries and the representation of the Colombian internal conflict in national cinema. The Colombian peace-process situation currently encompasses over 50 years of conflict and a continuous search – through different manifestations of memory and intense use of media – of a new cultural identity. The narrative mechanisms of representation adopted by mass media are a fundamental part of the reconciliation process as they are a crucial form of collective memory and, simultaneously, the exercise of power that takes the shape of an official cultural memory. The objective of this study is to identify the narrative structures and conjunctions through which violence is assimilated, (re)presented, filed and inserted in the field of cultural memory by Colombian mass media after the signing of the peace treaty in
2016.
