Competing (In)Securities. Frictions of Violence Transformation and Peace Building in Colombia,

哥伦比亚政府和哥伦比亚革命武装力量游击队之间的和平协议标志着在哥伦比亚国家高度多样化的环境中开始了一个漫长、复杂和多方面的和平进程。该项目在受战争严重影响的三个不同社会文化的微型地区(考卡、塞萨尔和乌拉巴)的和平进程中调查当地的动态、摩擦(青青2005)以及当地民间行为者的作用。为了理解战争-和平-连续体(Scheper-Hughes and Bourgois 2004)中的变化动态，我们使用比戈(2014)的“(在)安全”概念作为一种分析工具，用来研究当地(在)安全概念和实践的转变的民族志研究。因此，我们的目标是揭示和平进程造成的多重摩擦以及植根于当地思想和做法的其他和平潜力。为此，我们的研究重点是不同微观区域的这种安全观念和做法及其与当地历史经验的关系，特别关注当前和平进程带来的变化。作为最终结果，该项目的调查结果将丰富和平人类学研究中的理论辩论，同时为哥伦比亚和平进程的成功继续作出贡献。

The peace agreement between the Colombian state and the FARC guerilla signals the beginning of a long, complex, and multifaceted peace process in the highly diverse environment of the Colombian state. The project investigates local dynamics, frictions (Tsing 2005), and the agency of local civil actors in the context of the peace process in three socio-culturally diverse micro-regions (Cauca, Cesar, and Urabá) that were severely affected by the war.Our approach is based on theoretical insights from the anthropology of conflict and security. In order to come to terms with the dynamics of transformation in the war-peace-continuum (Scheper-Hughes and Bourgois 2004), we use Bigo’s (2014) concept of “(in)security” as an analytical tool for the ethnographic study of the transformations of local concepts and practices of (in)security. We thus aim to uncover the multiple frictions caused by the peace process as well as alternative potentials for peace rooted in local ideas and practices. For this reason, our study focuses on such conceptions and practices of (in)security in the different micro-regions and their relationship to local historical experiences, paying special attention to the changes engendered by the current peace process. As a final outcome, the project’s findings will enrich theoretical debates in the anthropological study of peace while, at the same time, making a contribution to the successful continuation of the Colombian peace process.
