Abstract

The author dialogues with himself and with others on ethnographic productions training stay in Colombia: specifcally, critical review of a Field journal studying medical practices in Colombia. An unsuccessful outcome, but it was useful in academic refections. After fourteen years of neglect, the Field journal is revisited, but incomprehensible: shows a double alienation, and is unable to assess the violence in Colombia. A frst experienced alienation in the feld, and in the distance, a second strangeness of writing, that refuses to be reinterpreted. These considerations allow us to see that violence in Colombia is actually a script violence on Colombia.
