Description
This book explores the imprint that the peace process involving the guerilla organisation FARC-EP left on Colombian TV fiction. To that end, it scrutinises the phenomenon of Colombian reconciliation telenovelas, which are intrinsically linked to the national Transitional Justice process. Based on a thorough analysis of the telenovelas and expert interviews, it examines their reconciliatory potential and assesses the benefits and dangers of incorporating mass mediated formats of popular culture into peace processes. The telenovelas, which could be mistaken for shallow entertainment, turn out to be an integral component of the Colombian Transitional Justice strategy.
