Abstract
- This paper analyses the narrative uses of ideas and values in the Democratic Security-policies of Colombian president Alvaro Uribe's government, and in the symbolic donation of money from the Danish organisation, Rebellion, to the guerrillas of the FARC in October 2004. The article delves into depth in the epistemological implications of these narrative uses and their political consequences, suggesting that both are ways of totalising meaning and reinforce frames of understanding characteristics of modernity, legitimising violent practices. The theoretical frame-work is provided by the thought of the Latin American modernity/coloniality research program, phenomenological and existential anthropology, and I lannah Arendt's thought. The empirical material consists of Danish and Colombian media-representations on the donation, documents from Rebellion's web-site, field notes of conversations led with persons in Colombia on the donation, and interviews with a spokesperson from Rebellion.
