The article explores the theme of violence in the Colombian conflict, focusing on the dynamics between state and para-state violence. The author analyzes how order and disorder are key concepts for understanding violence, highlighting how the normalization of extraordinary measures of control and the creation of an “enemy” serve to justify systemic violence. The specific case of the Bahia Portete massacre is used to illustrate the impact of massacres on Colombian society, highlighting how violence profoundly affects the social fabric and daily perceptions of individuals.
