El monte redondo: una interpretación transhistórica del conflicto armado en Colombia (The round mountain: a transhistorical interpretation of the armed conflict in Colombia) is a concern about how images of events pertaining to the national reality are constructed through the mass media. Aware that dealing with the armed conflict is a titanic task, I have decided to focus on two singular points in this history: the seizure and retaking of the Palace of Justice by the M-19 in November 1985 and the seizure of the municipality of Miranda, Cauca in October 1985, through the creation of an archive of the newspapers El Tiempo and La República on the seizure of the Palace of Justice and the creation of a set of oral accounts of the seizure of Miranda, Cauca, with the intention of rethinking reality and reactivating memory.
