GONZALEZ CRUZ, Edith; DOULOS, Panagiotis  and  RODRIGUEZ AZA, Milena. The Colombian strike 2021: Rebellious poetics, rituals of forgiveness and crisis. Iztapalapa. Rev. cienc. soc. humanid.

Based on the Colombian strike (2021), in dialogue with the Mexican and Greek experiences, in this article we argue that violence, in the current context of crisis of the neoliberal narrative, increases and various rituals of forgiveness operate with the aim of re-legitimising state force and reconfiguring social cohesion through the re-inscription of historical memory. Finally, we analyze how the slogan“Neither forgiving nor forgetting”, which appears repeatedly in the rebellions of these three experiences, becomes the response of the struggles against state processes that seek to regulate social conflicts.

Keywords : neoliberalism; protest; violence; memory; State.
