Memory is configured as an ideal scenario for reconciliation and the healing of what has been experienced in Latin America and Colombia. The question of the construction of signs as spaces for the processing of grief becomes a commitment to artistic creation whose ultimate purpose is to heal the other. Reconciling is a semiosis (Lotman, 1999) that constitute "the politics of the real" (Arfuch, 2008) in a country that has been ravaged by war: Colombia.This oral presentation aims to approach a semiotics of the memory of the sensitive body in contexts of conflict based on the concept of synaesthetic semiosis (Urueña, 2020). This concept is based on the approach of the "semiotic continuum" (Lotman, 1999) as a mechanism that constructs the sensitive memory (Urueña, 2020) of the victim who has experienced the act of violence, especially when the victim's story is configured as a synaesthetic phenomenon to be defined as a "sign" or "vehicle sign": the object that acts as a stimulus for the functioning of the sign itself (Ponzio, Petrilli, 2005). Therefore, the discussion between two concepts becomes necessary: sensory stimulation (Howes, 2016, Classen, 2012) and the configuration of the political subject (Arfuch, 2008), where physiological sensations construct corporeal metaphors with emotional features that are condensed into oral, visual, audiovisual and plastic signs. These signs are mobilised by the semiotic frontiers (Lotman, 1999) of reconciliation and healing.This oral presentation concludes with a brief reflection on the memory of the sensitive body in guerrilla contexts in Colombia.
