AB  - This article discusses the main results of a research study on the interactions between
stockbreeders and armed groups in relation to the illegal collection of funds, as narrated
in the stockbreeders’ testimonies and memories. The paper relies on both statistical and
narrative analysis methodologies in order to explore the patterns and configurations in
interactions with armed groups. It is argued here that the stockbreeders were not supporters
or passive victims, rather they acted strategically when making decisions and
relying on social and financial capitals actors to negotiate the terms of their own subjugation.
Drawing upon studies on remembrance and historicization of the Colombian
armed conflict, the paper stresses the need to understand local contexts, taken as spaces
of uncertainty, agitation, and ongoing readjustment. The paper also cautions scholars against the tendency to reduce the interactions between civilians and armed groups to
mere economic or political motivations. Rather, these interactions are considered to
emerge mainly from individuals’ everyday concerns and the desire to protect their lives.
