Abstract

This special issue offers a variety of texts and areas of study for the peace process in Colombia. The guest editor shares with the essayists their concern for the importance of fieldwork, for the exploration of the local as well as their concern for daily life in the Colombian "Post-Conflict." The essays in REC 53 crisscross central concepts of transitional justice, their empirical crystallization, or their bureaucracies that drive them.
