description This article attempts to perform a communicational mapping of enforced disappearances in Colombia. We do this by studying maternities that proliferate their meaning, feelings and pains as a consequence of the stresses and forces triggered by such happenings. These painful events are always reenacted by words, by social performances and in life itself. This article originates in an investigation performed about the social movement “Asociación Caminos de Esperanza Madres de la Candelaria”. This organization is mostly integrated by peasant women from the Antioquia Department, who have lost their beloved ones as a result of the Colombian armed conflict. We study the role of expressive collective agency in empowering a transformation of female or feminized subjects- either collective or individual-, through the accounts of five women who confronted violence before and after the enforced disappearance episode. Data was gathered through in-depth Interview and workshops. Personal conversations permeated the whole process and allowed to secure close communication with the participants. Rather than searching for answers, it was possible instead to formulate new questions about trajectories, connections, cuts, linkages and disjunctions among subjects. We were able to identify women who managed to successfully use the process as a way of further developing their subjectivity, which, in turn, led them to   transform their lives and increase their autonomy and public prominence.

Nos aproximamos a una cartografía comunicacional de la desaparición forzada en Colombia a través de maternidades que multiplican sus sentidos, sentires y pensares en las tensiones y fuerzas impulsadas por este acontecimiento, siempre actualizado por la palabra, el performance social y la vida. Este artículo se deriva de una investigación que tuvo como eje el análisis del movimiento social Asociación Caminos de Esperanza Madres de la Candelaria, organización conformada en su mayoría por mujeres campesinas del departamento de Antioquia, que han perdido a sus seres queridos en el conflicto armado. Abordamos la agencia colectiva de enunciación como potencia para transformar sujetos femeninos y feminizados, individuales y colectivos, a través de las narraciones de cinco mujeres que enfrentaron violencias anteriores y posteriores a la desaparición forzada. La aplicación de entrevistas en profundidad, talleres y la conversación como método transversal permitió trazar líneas de comunicación y buscar, más que respuestas, preguntas sobre trayectorias, conexiones, cortes, vínculos o disyunciones entre sujetos. Pudimos identificar que las mujeres dentro del movimiento lograron procesos de subjetivación que las llevaron a ganar autonomía, visibilidad pública y transformaciones en su vida. Abordamos uma cartografia comunicacional do desaparecimento forçado na Colômbia através de maternidades que multiplicam seus sentidos, sentimentos e pensamentos nas tensões e forças impulsionadas por este acontecimento, sempre atualizado pela palavra, o desempenho social e a vida. Este artigo é derivado de uma investigação que teve como eixo a análise do movimento social Asociación Caminos de Esperanza Madres de la Candelaria, organização formada em sua maioria por mulheres rurais do departamento de Antioquia, que perderam seus entes queridos no conflito armado.

A aplicação de entrevistas em profundidade, oficinas e conversas como método transversal, nos permitiu traçar linhas de comunicação e buscar, mais do que respostas, questionamentos sobre trajetórias, conexões, cortes, vínculos ou disjunções entre sujeitos.
