Abstract
This chapter analyses the self-imagen of the National Army of Colombiain two TV-series ran during two key times of the Colombian armed conflict: Hombres de Honor (Men of Honor, 1995), and La Niña (The Girl), produced during the peace negotiations in Havana prior to the 2016–2017 Agreements. Through analytics on YouTube comments, as well as a review of some episodes, it examines the representations of the military in two moments in its history. Despite both series respond to institutional propaganda, they show transformations and persistence in the image of the military in the Colombian audiences.
