It is based on the premise that identity is not a fixed attribute, but a dynamic semiotic production. Within this framework, forced displacement, beyond its geographical dimension, disrupts the affective, territorial, and symbolic bonds of women, generating a fracture in their existential continuity. Through testimony, understood as a discursive practice, narrative trajectories emerge that articulate uprooting, meaninglessness, and subsequently, identity readjustment. The study shows that women resignify their experiences through processes of rooting, reconstruction of the sense of belonging, and reappropriation of territory. These findings contribute to the understanding of identity transformations as effects of meaning configured within the web of social, affective, and cultural interactions, thus making visible symbolic resistance against exclusion and structural violence. El presente artículo presenta los resultados de un ejercicio de investigación orientado al análisis, desde una perspectiva sociosemiótica, de las identidades discursivas construidas en los relatos de mujeres desplazadas por el conflicto armado en Colombia, específicamente en el barrio Café Madrid de Bucaramanga. Se parte de la premisa de que la identidad no es un atributo fijo, sino una producción semiótica dinámica. En este marco, el desplazamiento forzado, más allá de su dimensión geográfica, irrumpe en los vínculos afectivos, territoriales y simbólicos de las mujeres, generando una fractura en su continuidad existencial. A través del testimonio, entendido como una práctica discursiva, emergen trayectorias narrativas que articulan el desarraigo, el sinsentido y, posteriormente, el reajuste identitario. El estudio muestra que las mujeres resignifican su experiencia mediante procesos de arraigo, reconstrucción del sentido de pertenencia y reapropiación del territorio. Estos hallazgos contribuyen a la comprensión de las transformaciones identitarias como efectos de sentido que se configuran en el entramado de interacciones sociales, afectivas y culturales, visibilizando así la resistencia simbólica frente a la exclusión y la violencia estructural.
