Linking voices for peace. Representations of the armed conflict in the Sumapaz region: Tibacuy - Pasca case

Abstract

The project entitled “Linking voices for peace. Representations of the armed conflict in the Sumapaz region: Case Tibacuy - Pasca”, is developed as a proposal that arises from the School of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities” of the UNAD. The life stories of the inhabitants of the Municipality of Tibacuy, related to the victimizing events that occurred during the armed conflict, such as forced displacement and homicide, express the collective representations constructed. Said contents are socialized in the academic scene of the Normal de Pasca, through the radio programs broadcast by the virtual Radio UNAD and there the students, starting from the episodes counted, construct collective versions of what happened in Tibacuy. Starting from a group exercise, it seeks to activate a space for reflection, discussion and appropriation in which an approach to one's own experience of the armed conflict is intended, which involves family events and / or associated social and political events. This allows updating the representations about the armed conflict as a localized collective experience. In this way, progress is made in the possibility of listening and the ability to understand and understand the other, supported by radio mediation, as a meeting point that opens the possibility of dialogue, rapprochement and the awakening of consciousness and awareness. historical memory. This is possible, in addition to the geographic proximity, because both Municipalities shared similar conflict situations.
