Wow, what an eloquent portrayal of field work in the land of Macondo, and of the difficulties involved in ferreting out the reality. (Cf. Clifford Geertz’ “Deep Play” in Bali.) I would only add that the legalistic and systematic annotation of every violation of rights (e.g., 8 million officially tabulated victims and counting, each duly registered by the Government agency on the appropriate forms) constitutes one fascinating and maddening aspect of Colombian society. The attention to detail, format and law is nearly Germanic in nature. However, as Elena Butti’s article points out, the real ability of Colombian structures and society to correct and provide reparations for these wrongs is still only nascent. Very much looking forward to Butti’s next bulletin from the field.
