Weaving in the Common: Two Encounters with Women Survivors of the Colombian Armed Conflict

Abstract

This article explores, from two ethnographic vignettes, the materiality of the encounters with two women who were displaced to Bogotá by the armed conflict. This effort stems from the need to weave relationships and build knowledge from the everyday life between researchers and women who have survived forced displacement. The aim of the writing is to analyze how the world becomes livable after acts of violence and how to map out possibilities for common worlds in the encounters.
