[ISEA2017] Paper: Alba Lucía Cruz Castillo & Jesús Alejandro Guzmán Ramírez — Transmedia as a tool for the reconstruction of collective memory in post-conflict scenarios in Colombia

Abstract 

Keywords: Memory, Transmedia, Postconflict, Collective, Hypermedia Narratives.

In the context of Colombia’s reconciliation process, and in light of the dynamics of country reconstruction in which post-conflict is framed, it is necessary to create spaces for the construction of collective memory and future scenarios that allow the rapprochement between the actors of the Conflict to be able to consolidate a new vision of its reality. In this sense, alternatives should be sought that, in the light of the new forms of representation, allow the formation of narratives and facilitate the participants of this type of process to understand the new scenario that they pose and of which they are art and part for the consolidation of Truth and trust.

The development of transmedia scenarios, allows the generation of a re-dimension of the reality of a collective, and thus build a proper sense of narrative that facilitates to the actors of this type of conflicts the search of the channels that more conform to their Situation, the media that actually identify them, and the possibility of varying the information systems that serve as a sieve for the evidence of situations that in themselves have been difficult and should be ex- pressed for conciliation.
