El artículo presenta en una primera parte un bosquejo de las obras narrativas colombianas que han representando al sicario, para luego volver sobre la novela La Virgen de los sicarios, del escritor antioqueño Fernando Vallejo, y analizarla de acuerdo con las categorías de "heterogeneidad" y "sujeto migrante".

En ese contexto, persigo dos propósitos: primero, abordar desde el testimonio la tensión que se configura entre memoria e historia en el entendido de que la memoria tiene como punto de partida un ejercicio en el que subyacen procesos de selección, interpretación y construcción de sentidos frente a un(os) acontecimiento(s) que se traen desde el pasado, mientras la historia trabaja científicamente con evidencias fácticas y verificables que configuran lo que " realmente " ocurrió; segundo, asumiendo la novela como texto en el que se mezclan la biografía y el ensayo, busco ahondar sobre las funciones sociales que puede tener la historia, a partir de las categorías que nos propone Tzvetan Todorov de " memorias literales " y " memorias ejemplares ". ABSTRACT The document reflects on the relationship memory and history from the novel by Hector Abad Faci-olince Forgetting that we (2006) and illustrated books My Confession (2001) by Mauricio Aranguren Molina on the testimony of Carlos Castaño. In this context, I pursue two purposes: first, from the testimony addressing the tension between memory and history set in the memory is understood that as a starting point an exercise in the underlying processes of selection, interpretation and construction of meaning against a (I) event (s) that are brought from the past, while the story works scientifically factual and verifiable evidence that make up what " really " happened, and second, assuming the novel as a text that mixes biography and the essay, I seek to deepen on the social functions that can have the story, from categories which we proposed Tzvetan Todorov " memory reports " and " memory copies " .

Located in the inhospitable jungle region of High Sinú -northwest of the Andean territory-the environmental license granted by government entities ignored the ecological and environmental impacts the work would entail, and also failed to recognize the presence of the emberákatio indigenous people, whose constitutional rights were violated. Following the arguments presented by the economist Karl Polanyi, the article explores the environmental, social and cultural consequences caused by the energy project, in addition to delving in the strategy of violence and extermination that paramilitarism created to disrupt the organizational processes for the emberákatios, which resulted in the disappearance and murder of indigenous leaders.

This study analyzes the role of journalism and memory as strategic and essential scenarios to promote democratic exercises that strengthen eventual political transition in Colombia. The study concludes that the journalism has not resolved the problem of studying the past related to armed conflict in the country. Based on a content analysis of different journalistic records, this study suggests that journalism Colombian not have had a relevant impact to understand that disruptive, violent and lurid past don't have repeated again.
