Abstract
BOHORQUEZ, Javier Enrique Thomas. Territory, Violence and Disasters in Colombia: An Approach to the Historical Environmental Memory. Territ. [online]. 2021, n.45, pp.261-292. Epub July 12, 2022. ISSN 0123-8418. https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.8742.
The process of rural violence of almost six decades that Colombia lived left, throughout its history, deep social, cultural and of course environmental scars; this paper exposes some reflections of a research project, was intended to mean environmental violence and the concomitant disasters that occurred in the country and what would require the social construction of a historical environmental memory. The complex relationship between social, political and geo-strategic conditions, with the naturals, also diverse, establish, on the one hand, emergence of vulnerabilities to potentially destructive events, significant percentages of rural population, and on the other, important, vast and sometimes unrecoverable impacts environmental, which demand higher levels of awareness about what nature would be as a victim and the processes of truth, justice, reparation and non-repetition of actions that degrade it in its integrity.
