Reading the Walls of Bogotá
A cultural imaginary is a structuring space through which collective understandings of cultural and society phenomena are formed, reproduced, and accepted as the norm. Reading the Walls of Bogotá uses graffiti and street art to explore the urban imaginaries of violence in Bogotá, Colombia. These artistic forms are produced and received in different ways in different areas of the city and offer an insight into citizens’ everyday experiences and perceptions of violence from the political, to the personal, to that of structural inequality. Through graffiti, in which critiques of memory, space, politics, and aesthetics are embedded, artists and their viewers form vernacular theories through which they interpret the world and the spaces they inhabit. By focusing on creative expression, Alba Griffin shows how Bogotá’s residents respond to imaginaries of violence, how they critique the norms, how they appropriate space to challenge or negotiate violence, and how they push back against inequality.

El posacuerdo en Colombia
El presente libro se basa en las presentaciones realizadas en el taller “Repensando los Cercamientos en Colombia desde un Contexto Regional y Global. El papel del Territorio, la Colonialidad y la Temporalidad”, llevado a cabo en la Universidad del Rosario. Los textos enriquecidos por los intercambios y los debates que se dieron durante el mismo, así como por la escritura de cada uno de los capítulos en diálogo con los comentarios y las sugerencias de los editores de este volumen. Los Acuerdos de Paz constituyen un hito que marca un antes y un después, una hendidura en el tiempo histórico de las sociedades. A partir del análisis detenido de casos, actores y procesos específicos y distintivos, los capítulos que integran este libro coinciden en que el tiempo de “posacuerdo” que se abre después de la firma de los acuerdos de paz se sobreimprime a una realidad social, territorial y temporal heterogénea y desigual. Reponer analíticamente el carácter situado y, por lo mismo cambiante, del devenir del posacuerdo constituye uno de los desafíos centrales de este libro.
