Abstract
Objective. To analyze how multiple positions of the self are configured in the life trajectory narrative of a Colombian soldier who lost a limb due to an anti-personnel landmine, from a dialogical and phenomenological perspective. Method. A single case study was used, with historically structured sampling. A semi-structured interview with a phenomenological approach was applied. The interpretive phenomenological approach (IPA) and the Equifinality Trajectory Model (TEM) were used for the analysis model. Results. The participant's trajectory is marked by three main stages: 1) stepping on the anti-personnel mine and the rehabilitation process; 2) retirement as a soldier and the setting of goals through others; and 3) the consolidation of a life project as a Paralympic athlete that integrates military identity with the new physical condition. Conclusion. The reconfiguration of the self, from transpassibility, implies an openness to others and to the new that allows for the reinterpretation of lived experience and the construction of a renewed identity in constant dialogue with the context.
