El g\u00e9nero que suele tomar la delantera en estos casos es la literatura; y en diciembre y en enero la oferta suele ser abundante. Pero en Colombia ha tomado cada vez m\u00e1s fuerza esa realidad presentada con visos literarios que es la cr\u00f3nica. Los legados hechos por literatos como Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez y por periodistas como Germ\u00e1n Castro son fuentes en las que sin duda han bebido los j\u00f3venes y menos j\u00f3venes cronistas de hoga\u00f1o. <\/p>\n<p>La cr\u00f3nica est\u00e1 llamada a ponerse cada vez m\u00e1s de moda en Colombia por dos razones distintas pero estrechamente ligadas: porque muestran sucesos recientes en clave literaria -y con ello esconden verdades que de otra forma suelen ser dif\u00edciles de aceptar- y porque en un pa\u00eds ansioso de saber la verdad de su reciente pasado violento, son una fuente insustituible para analistas, cr\u00edticos, funcionarios y pol\u00edticos.<\/p>\n<p>La historia social colombiana est\u00e1 cruzada permanentemente por la guerra y el desarraigo y estos ser\u00e1n temas centrales en la agenda pol\u00edtica del inmediato futuro, como lo muestra el actual proceso de acercamientos del gobierno con la guerrilla y los paramilitares. Huelga decir que en el momento m\u00e1s importante del cruce de cuentas gobierno-paras-guerrilla, el pa\u00eds necesitar\u00e1 o\u00edr un relato cre\u00edble de lo que ha ocurrido no solo en el pasado reciente como un todo, sino en cada uno de los principales sucesos que lo conforman. <\/p>\n<p>En dos platos: como el derecho a la verdad -principal caballito de batalla de las v\u00edctimas de la guerra, provengan de donde provengan- ser\u00e1 uno de los palos en la rueda con los que tendr\u00e1 que lidiar el gobierno y, en particular, la Comisi\u00f3n Nacional de Reconciliaci\u00f3n y Reparaci\u00f3n. Si bien esta no es una comisi\u00f3n de la verdad, s\u00ed est\u00e1 llamada a preparar  parte de las bases de lo que luego ser\u00e1 el relato hist\u00f3rico que el pa\u00eds espera sobre el paramilitarismo, apoyado tambi\u00e9n en fuentes no oficiales de informaci\u00f3n, como las cr\u00f3nicas.<\/p>\n<p>No hacerlo es no solo perder una oportunidad importante de contribuir a la verdadera reconciliaci\u00f3n -contando lo que haya que contar-, sino dejar un hueco hist\u00f3rico que una sociedad democr\u00e1tica en construcci\u00f3n no puede darse el lujo de generar, pues sin duda las propias v\u00edctimas se encargar\u00e1n de refregarlo permanentemente y con sobrada raz\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Pero no solo las v\u00edctimas. Tambi\u00e9n las personas corrientes e interesadas en el acontecer nacional, legitimados igualmente por el mero hecho de ser ciudadanos, habr\u00e1n de reclamar una historia contada con muchos m\u00e1s matices que los que generen fuentes meramente oficiales, m\u00e1xime si tales personas, as\u00ed sea en vacaciones, dan un rodeo por aquellos textos que informan sobre el drama de la guerra y el desarraigo en nuestro pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n<p>Es por todo ello que no dudo en recomendar la lectura de un excelente libro de cr\u00f3nicas que refiere algunos aspectos de la guerra y el desarraigo en nuestro pa\u00eds. Su contenido desgarrador y dram\u00e1tico, narrado en clave literaria, dan cuenta del dolor, del abandono social, de las equivocaciones militares, del odio, de la desesperanza, del valor, pero especialmente del miedo. Del miedo a vivir, del miedo a morir, del miedo a huir, del miedo a quedarse, del miedo a ser, del miedo a no ser, del miedo a pertenecer, del miedo a tener o a no tener.<\/p>\n<p>A riesgo de sacrificar la tranquilidad espiritual que se espera al inicio de un a\u00f1o de labores, la lectura de Desterrados. Cr\u00f3nicas del Desarraigo -Alfredo Molano, Nomos S.A., 2005- es no solo una obligaci\u00f3n ciudadana, en el pleno sentido del t\u00e9rmino ciudadano, si se desea conocer algo m\u00e1s de lo que informan los medios sobre el acontecer nacional, sino tambi\u00e9n un texto llamado a completar y comprender mejor nuestra violenta y compleja historia reciente. Pero sobre todo, es un llamado a la reflexi\u00f3n moral para el equilibrio de nuestra propia soberbia e indiferencia. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Danilo Rojas, member of DJS, exalts the value of the journalistic chronicles of war to fill the \u201choles\u201d in history when they arrive at the moment of crossroads in the telling of the government stopping guerrilla warfare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","medium-semana-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
