| contents | Case 03 of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), focused on the so-called false positives in Colombia, represents one of the most harrowing episodes of the Colombian armed conflict. This article proposes an innovative methodology based on natural language analysis and semantic co-occurrence models to explore, systematize, and visualize narrative patterns present in the public hearings of victims and appearing parties. By constructing skipgram networks and analyzing their modularity, the study identifies thematic clusters that reveal regional and procedural status differences, providing empirical evidence on dynamics of victimization, responsibility, and acknowledgment in this case. This computational approach contributes to the collective construction of both judicial and extrajudicial truth, offering replicable tools for other transitional justice cases. The work is grounded in the pillars of truth, justice, reparation, and non-repetition, proposing a critical and in-depth reading of contested memories. |
