Burgos, Félix Manuel; Field, Les W.
The journal of Latin American and Caribbean anthropology, June 2024, Volume: 29, Issue: 2Journal Article
Utopian futurism is not often discussed as a motivating factor behind social science research, and in this article Colombian linguist Felix Manuel Burgos and US anthropologist Les W. Field take up that motivation in re‐assessing one period in the history of Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC). Founded in 1964 and impelled by events that exploded in 1948, FARC's history offers a window into a movement marked by a deeply dystopian trauma at its very start. In this article, with their utopian imaginations to one side, Burgos and Field dialogically consider the period of the Zona de Despeje (the demilitarized zone FARC dominated from 1998 to 2002), animated by the memory narratives of Félix Manuel Burgos who lived in that zone as a primary school‐teacher during those years. Through their dialogue, they consider the idea of “anti‐utopia” as potentially descriptive of the ZDD, specifically, as well as the FARC's overall historical character. Resumen En este artículo el lingüista colombiano Félix Burgos y el antropólogo estadounidense Les W. Field retoman el futurismo utópico al reevaluar un período de la historia de Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC). Fundadas en 1964 e impulsadas por los acontecimientos que estallaron en 1948, la historia de las FARC ofrece una ventana a un movimiento marcado por un trauma profundamente distópico desde sus inicios. En este artículo, dejando a un lado su imaginación utópica, Burgos y Field consideran dialógicamente el período de la Zona de Despeje (la zona desmilitarizada dominada por las FARC entre 1998 y 2002), animados por las narrativas de la memoria de Félix Burgos que vivió en esa zona como maestro de escuela primaria durante esos años. A través de su diálogo, consideran que la idea de “antiutopía” es potencialmente descriptiva de la ZDD, así como del carácter histórico general de las FARC.
