How do Daniel Pécaut’s perspectives influence the configuration of a particular analytical category on contemporary violence processes in Colombia? Through literature review, sequential approach, and concept creation, the category of “pecautización” is proposed as an analytical framework under construction that starts from understanding violent processes. This category is based on the idea that contemporary violence can be explained by the conceptual and analytical interweaving of Pécaut’s visions of violence. Indeed, after the signing of the 2016 Peace Agreement, the forms of contemporary violence in Colombia are the result of dynamics that Pécaut gathered in his approaches to the country. These forms, transformations, and intersections of violence are called “pecautización”.
