Sumario:This article aims to think about the political dimension of families in Colombian armed conflict context from their own experiences. The links are raised between private and public as converging scenarios and with less and less visible borders when is about treating matters like family, its configurations and “internal” practices, which had been conventionally treated as apolitical matters. This analysis goes further of traditional disciplinary frameworks of psychology or medicine that, frequently, have treated the family topic from the normalization logic and have produced a speech about rather fixed, stable typologies and classifications. These phenomena, in here, are understood more as besieged social constructions than as universal matters, giving a protagonist place to the shapes as the families resisting victimizing facts typical of the war.
