2025 (English)In: The Production of Gendered Knowledge of War / [ed] Annika Björkdahl; Johanna Mannergren, Abingdon: Routledge, 2025, p. 122-141Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

This chapter is about the production of war knowledge through the narrative and embodied epistemic agency of ‘insurgent women,’ i.e. the ex-guerrillera fighters and ex-clandestine militants of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc-ep) here referred to as the farianas. First, the chapter reflects on the epistemic silences and absences that surround the category of insurgent women through the Women, Peace and Security Agenda and feminist praxis, and in the Colombian context. Second, the chapter delves into the epistemic embodied agency of insurgent women by exposing three ways in which the farianas’ war knowledge contests typical understandings of reincorporation and peace, reclaiming both narrative and embodied forms of epistemic agency: by recovering their posture as insurgent women, by proposing their own feminist views in reincorporation and by narrating their insurgent memories.
