MONROY, Silvia. Facing violence: an exercise of ethnographic writing. Etnográfica [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.1, pp.05-27. ISSN 0873-6561.
This article is a writing experiment on the effects of violence, starting from the way I presented myself to three local women during my fieldwork in Urabá (Colombia) between 2009 and 2010. By describing my experiences with them I identify four possible types of narratives: unfinished stories, testimonial or biographical ones, prose, and distanced testimonial account. The three main sections of the paper are bound to the fieldwork interactions and to certain aspects of intersubjective encounters which link some effects of violent experience to the prevailing conception of time in the region, i.e., the precedence of the present.
