| description | The present article uses literary writing with the aim of exposing the ways in which three “returning”
populations in the region of Montes de María resignify the places from which they were forcefully expelled, making them habitable again through practices of memory. The starting point for this researchn is the idea that the “return” of a population is a process in itself and not the final chapter of forced displacement. For this purpose I rely on ethnographic work and the compilation of testimonies aided by creative writing and poetical anthropology- in order to propose an expositive, sensitive form of writing that will allow me to examine the process of return of this population, from a subjective position. As a conclusion, I propose the dialogue between anthropology and creative writing as a powerful tool to in vestigate different processes of reconstruction engaged in by persons affected by the Colombian armed conflict. |

The present article uses literary writing with the aim of exposing the ways in which three “returning” populations in the region of Montes de María resignify the places from which they were forcefully expelled, making them habitable again through practices of memory. The starting point for this researchn is the idea that the “return” of a population is a process in itself and not the final chapter of forced displacement. For this purpose I rely on ethnographic work and the compilation of testimonies aided by creative writing and poetical anthropology- in order to propose an expositive, sensitive form of writing that will allow me to examine the process of return of this population, from a subjective position. As a conclusion, I propose the dialogue between anthropology and creative writing as a powerful tool to in vestigate different processes of reconstruction engaged in by persons affected by the Colombian armed conflict. El presente artículo utiliza la escritura literaria con el fin de evidenciar las formas mediante las cuales tres poblaciones retornadas en la región de Montes de María resignifican los lugares de la expulsión forzada para hacerlos habitables a partir de sus prácticas del recuerdo (Riaño, 2006). Parto de la idea de que el retorno de población es un proceso en sí mismo y no el capítulo final del desplazamiento forzado. Acudo al trabajo etnográfico y de recopilación testimonial para expositivamente, de la mano de la literatura y la antropología poética ensayar una escritura sensible que me permita exponer desde la subjetividad el proceso de retorno de población. Como conclusión, propongo que el diálogo antropología-literatura resulta en una herramienta potente para dar cuenta de diferentes procesos de reconstrucción que realizan las personas afectadas por el conflicto armado en Colombia.
