RESUMEN: Colombia se puede caracterizar como una sociedad dominada por “la rutinización de la guerra y del olvido”. Las memorias de hechos violentos cuando logran articularse y salir del espacio íntimo, no se incorporan necesariamente a la memoria nacional por medio de “políticas de la memoria” en procesos transicionales. Estas memorias son “depositadas” antes que discutidas. La literatura testimonial constituye uno de esos “depósitos”. Hay momentos en los que ciertos temas, testigos, autores y tratamientos narrativos adquieren un apogeo inusitado. Estos auges obedecen a factores nacionales como la dinámica del conflicto y la sociedad colombiana, e internacionales como el “giro hacia el pasado”. Al hacer un recorrido por el desarrollo del género testimonial desde la Violencia de mediados de siglo xx hasta nuestros días, se logra evidenciar la gravitación de varias culturas del recuerdo en una sociedad donde aparentemente domina el olvido.
ABSTRACT: Colombia may be characterized as a society ruled over by “a routinization of war and oblivion”. When memories about violent events succeed in articulate themselves and transcend the private space, they are not necessarily incorporated to national memory through “memory policies” in transitional processes. These memories are “deposited” rather than discussed. Testimonial literature is one of those “deposits”. There are times when certain topics, witnesses, authors and narrative treatments attain an unexpected relevance. Such a relevance follows national factors, like the dynamics of conflict and society in Colombia and abroad, such as a “turn to past”. When making a survey across the development of the testimonial genre from mid-20th century Violence up to our times, the gravitation of several cultures of memory is made evident in a society where oblivion appears to prevail.
