    En Medellín (1989-1993) no hubo familia que no pusiera una gota de dolor : memorias de la familia Árbelaez Ramírez en el contexto generalizado de violencia

    This research analyzes the impact of the violence that swept through Medellín during the transition from the 1980s to the 1990s, based on the testimony of the Arbeláez Ramírez family, who experienced the kidnapping of two of its members and the murder of one of them. It explores how these structural phenomena became embodied in the lives of specific families, thus intertwining personal history with the broader social evolution of the city. This personal account reveals how the intertwined forms of violence of that era transformed daily life, disrupting social bonds, economic dynamics, and the emotional fabric of families. The experience of the Arbeláez Ramírez family is not an exception but rather an example of how the macrostructures of conflict and drug trafficking infiltrated domestic spaces, turning the private sphere into a site of struggle. In a context permeated by silence, fear, and oblivion, giving voice to the victims becomes an act of resistance and symbolic justice. Thus, beyond making a particular experience visible, this work offers a perspective that connects life stories with broader social histories, using memory as an essential tool to understand the harm inflicted, to dignify those who have suffered it, and to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of Medellín’s recent past.
