Colombia ha sufrido por más de cinco décadas un conflicto armado interno que ha generado profundos impactos en la población civil, en particular para los campesinos. Históricamente la región del Sumapaz ha sido uno de los epicentros de esta confrontación que, durante el periodo comprendido entre 1990-2003, adquirió características particulares debido a la expansión de los actores armados enfrentados. En este artículo se analiza cómo se desarrolló ese enfrentamiento en el corregimiento suroriental de Fusagasugá; con este objetivo, se hace énfasis en los relatos de las personas que vivieron los hechos, para así proyectar el problema de la memoria histórica en la región campesina del Sumapaz. Lo anterior permite observar las experiencias de los sujetos frente al fenómeno de la violencia y cómo son recordados estos, de cara a un periodo de posacuerdo, momento en el que se hace necesario conocer y dar sentido a las memorias de quienes sufrieron los mayores impactos de nuestra guerra. Abstract: Colombia has suffered an armed conflict for more than five decades with deep impacts on civilians, particularly the peasantry. Historically, the Sumapaz region has been one of the epicenters of this confrontation, with very particular features from 1990 to 2003, due to the expansion of armed actors. This paper analyzes how the confrontation took place in the southeastern corregimiento of Fusagasugá, from the perspective of the people who experienced it firsthand, in order to contribute to the historical memory of the peasant region of Sumapaz. This exercise allows to observe the divergent interpretations that exist about the same phenomenon of violence, which is useful facing the current period of post agreement, where it is necessary to know and make sense of the memories of those who suffered the greatest impacts of our war. Keywords: Armed conflict, FARC, memories, Sumapaz.

El artículo aborda el análisis de una modalidad particular del fenómeno paramilitar en Colombia como son las prácticas paramilitares, comprendidas como la constitución de redes o alianzas criminales funcionales, cambiantes y coyunturales en la planeación, coordinación y perpetración de graves violaciones a los DDHH y al DIH. Se toma como epicentro del análisis el proceso de violencia política ocurrido entre los años 1982-1997 en el Alto Nordeste Antioqueño (conformado por los municipios de Remedios y Segovia), paradigmático de esta trayectoria particular del fenómeno paramilitar. La caracterización y análisis de las prácticas paramilitares amplían la comprensión acerca del proceso de conformación, expansión y consolidación de las estructuras paramilitares que se agruparon en la confederación de las Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia (AUC).Palabras Clave: Conflicto armado interno, Violencia política, Memoria histórica, Remedios y Segovia, Paramilitarismo ABSTRACTPARAMILITARY PRACTICES IN THE ALTO NORDESTE ANTIOQUEÑOThe article deals with the analysis of a particular modality of the paramilitary phenomenon in Colombia, such as paramilitary practices, including the constitution of functional, changing and conjunctural criminal networks or alliances in the planning, coordination and perpetration of serious violations of human rights and IHL .

“Memoria histórica razonada” es una propuesta teórico-metodológica que busca la participación activa de las víctimas del conflicto armado interno en la construcción de la historia colombiana. El artículo es un aporte conceptual de un estudio de trayectorias de vida de víctimas del desplazamiento forzado llevado a cabo en Bucaramanga, Colombia. Para tal caso, se realiza un acercamiento al contexto histórico del origen y dinámica de la historia, la memoria y la oralidad en la historiografía. Se evidencia el debate teórico sobre memoria e historia realizado por autores de las ciencias sociales y humanas. Y se muestran trabajos participativos de memorias de víctimas del conflicto armado interno colombiano. Como resultado, se pretende que mediante la construcción de memoria histórica razonada se comprendan relatos de personas desplazadas a través de un conocimiento complementario entre víctimas e investigadores, generándose instrumentos contra marginalidades, negacionismos, silencios y olvidos impuestos por centros de poder.Palabras claves: “memoria histórica razonada”, “memoria histórica”, víctimas, historia, memoria, historiografía, historia oral.Reasoned Historical Memory.  A Proposal to Include Victims of Colombian Internal Armed ConflictAbstractThis Reasoned Historical Memory is a theoretical-methodological proposal that seeks the active participation of victims of internal armed conflict in the construction of Colombian history. While The article is part of a conceptual contribution to a study from life trajectories of victims of forced displacement held in Bucaramanga city.For such a case, It makes an approach into the historical context of the origin and dynamic of history, memory and orality in historiography.

Kefahaman berkenaan konsep pengalaman pengguna (UX) adalah berbeza bagi setiap individu bergantung kepada latar belakang seseorang dan daripada industri mana mereka dikaitkan. ia juga dipengaruhi oleh latar belakang dan minat pengkaji itu sendiri. Kepelbagaian versi berkenaan konsep UX ini akan mengelirukan pembaca yang kurang berpengalaman. Selain itu, sehingga kini sesetengah pengkaji bersetuju bahawa UX dan Kebolehgunaan (Usability) tidak mempunyai perbezaan asas yang jelas terutamanya dalam kaedah pengukurannya. Oleh yang demikian, tujuan penulisan ini adalah untuk mengkaji dan mendedahkan definisi dan konsep UX secara komprehensif. Penulisan ini bermula dengan mengenalpasti elemen-elemen UX yang ditemui di dalam penulisan kajian-kajian terdahulu dan seterusnya mengetengahkan perbezaan di antara konsep UX dan Kebolehgunaan (Usability). Berdasarkan kajian literatur, penulisan ini mencadangkan bahawa pengukuran UX boleh dibuat berdasarkan elemen-elemen UX seperti Kebolehgunaan (Usability), Nilai (Value) dan Relevan, Kebolehcapaian (Accessibility), Kemudah gunaan (Ease of Use), Kualiti Hedonic dan Pragmatic, dan Daya Tarikan/ Estetik. Kesimpulannya, UX merupakan lanjutan daripada konsep Kebolehgunaan (Usability) yang melangkaui Keberkesanan (Effectiveness), Kecekapan (Efficiency) dan Kepuasan (Satisfaction). Oleh yang demikian, UX adalah sesuatu yang berkaitan dengan persepsi manusia yang mana bertindak balas terhadap produk, sistem atau servis apabila pengguna mengambil bahagian atau menggunakannya.   Different people have different understandings of the User Experience (UX) concepts depending on the background of the people and from which industries they are associated to. It is also influenced by the background and interest of the researchers itself. This various versions of UX concept could confuse naïve readers. Moreover, some researchers also agreed that there is vague differences between UX and Usability particularly in their method of measurements.. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to investigate and synthesis on the definition and concepts of UX comprehensively. This paper begins with the identification of the commonly mentioned elements of UX elements in the published research papers and then followed by the differences between the concepts of UX and Usability.. Based on the literature investigation this paper proposes that UX evaluation should consider the UX elements that include Usability, Value and Relevance, Accessibility, Ease of use, Hedonic and Pragmatic Quality, and Visual attractiveness/ Aesthetic. In additional, UX aspect is an extension to the usability concept which is beyond the Effectiveness, Efficiency and Satisfaction. As a conclusion, UX is something to do with human perceptions which responses towards the product, system or service when they have participated with or used it.

ambién nos contaron que habían encontrado gentes nacidas en tierras lejanas y queaunque hablaban en otras lenguas o con otro modo eran como hermanos, pues teníansentimientos nobles y estaban dispuestos a darnos apoyo y acompañarnos … Asísurgieron los lazos de lucha que hermanan y fortalecen, supimos de los acompañantesy aprendimos que la solidaridad es una fuerza que acerca a las gentes, acorta distanciasy permite compartir penas, esfuerzos, logros, sueños y esperanzas…« Sentires», fragmento de relato inédito de Mario Domínguez   RESUMEN A partir de una etnografía reflexiva, se prioriza sobre una participación política que ha trascendido hasta hoy por la organización y resistencia durante el conflicto armado interno de Guatemala. Es el caso de personas originarias de las Comunidades de Población en Resistencia, CPR, del Ixcán que han intervenido activamente en los procesos políticos de su municipio, debido en parte a una nueva identidad que emergió y creció con el lema «Resistencia para Avanzar». Apostaron por la organización y por una política activa que, con los Acuerdos de Paz y con proyectos estratégicos de descentralización política, participan en alcaldías municipales apoyándose en las experiencias de organización comunitaria aprendidas durante el conflicto armado interno. Así surgió una nueva cultura política que desde las masacres crea esperanza al pueblo indígena y a la sociedad.   ABSTRACT On the basis of reflexive ethnography, the author focuses on the political participation that has taken place to date as a result of the organization and resistance during the internal armed conflict in Guatemala. This is the case of the people from the Ixcán CPRs who have actively intervened in the political processes in their municipality, partly due to their new identity that emerged and expanded as a result of the motto, «Progress through Resistance». They committed themselves to organization and active politics. As a result of the Peace Agreements and through the strategic projects of political decentralization, they participated in municipal town councils, using their experience in community organization from the internal armed conflict. And so a new political culture arose as result of the massacres, creating hope for indigenous people and society.

The present work is based on the analysis of the schoolchildren competitive research papers submitted at the All-Russian Youth Vernadsky Conference in the period of time between 2005 and 2020; the article considers the ideas about the 1941–1945 Great Patriotic War of the generation coming into life in the 21st century. The content specificity of the schoolchildren research works devoted to the Great Patriotic War is defined by the fact that the young authors in search of truth seek to objectively comprehend the realities of the past and to ascertain the veracity of the fact. It is worth noting that the heroes of the schoolchildren papers are ordinary people, often without formal recognition, and that is the reason why their documents have not been taken into the archives yet. At the opening of the exhibition “Man and War”, the Chairman of the Russian Historical Society Sergei Naryshkin stressed that the history of the Soviet people’s heroism is transmitted through the frontline letters, photographs, family reminiscences, personal belongings. It is on these sources that young researchers learn the history of the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945. The author of the article concludes that the historical memory of the Great Patriotic War is preserved in the people’s consciousness, and that it is possible to use the youth research as the sources of personal origin to study the issue of historical memory
