description Colombia has experienced several cycles of violence. Between 1946 and 1958, the country endured a period of intense bipartisan violence that ended with an agreement between the two main political parties. This was followed by a transition to rural guerrilla violence, later compounded by the emergence of paramilitary groups, marking the period known as the internal armed conflict. While some guerrilla groups demobilized in the 1990s, paramilitary groups in 2005, and the main guerrilla group in 2016, residual and emerging armed actors have since reorganized. Consequently, some regions have seen a resurgence of armed activity, while others have experienced a significant de-escalation of violence. Given that multiple generations have lived through the armed conflict, this study conducted an exercise in collective and individual memory to trace the actors, narratives, and intergenerational transmission of memories related to the conflict among residents of the Encimadas and Montebonito districts in the municipalities of Samaná and Marulanda, respectively. The collective dimension was examined through the construction of timelines in focus groups, the individual component through biographical diaries, and the intergenerational aspect through the analysis of material grouped by generations. The findings reveal references to the conflict’s impact across two or three generations within the same family, often linked to the rupture of intrafamilial bonds, particularly between grandparents and grandchildren. Interpretations of the conflict varied by generation, each offering unique explanatory nuances. The study underscores the role of memory in shaping identity and collective meaning within societies
