Abstract

This article addresses the collective memory of the Trans Social Movement in Colombia, based on the life stories of fourteen leaders with Trans life experiences. It is a qualitative and exploratory study organized from moments and scalar transits, which are understood as actions capable of creating a memory with political and social value. Such moments indicated are the product of the reconfiguration of actions where individual leaderships are transferred to small groups actions, and from organizations to collective dialogues, in a set of networks and relationships that make changes possible within the framework of a process of consolidation of the Trans Social Movement in Colombia.
