The methodology is qualitative and the method is of documentary review by matrices. The main conclusion is that social representations are an unfinished theory. Indeed, they have a lot of criticism for their lack of rigidity. However, this characteristic from the qualitative point of view is a positive point, since it makes it more dynamic to understand social phenomena such as the subjectivities of the rural population, as it is an adaptive theory. Without forgetting that this characteristic enables dialogue between social actors in a society as fragmented as that of Colombia. Precisely, it can open doors to socialize how to claim the obliterated speeches of the population of the municipality for 60 years of armed conflict. ER -
