Procesos de educomunicación en los jóvenes de la comunidad indígena Wounaan en la construcción de su identidad cultural

Abstract

This research sought to understand how educommunication contributes to the understanding of intercultural or transcultural processes in the youth of the Wounaan indigenous community after the deterritorialization of the city of Bogotá. Experiences that contributed to cultural memory processes were collected. The work with the community made it possible to situate language and communication as the study tool that provides symbolic, discursive elements that contribute to the semiotic analysis of Umberto Eco, where communication was the learning axis on which the workshops and activities of cultural visibility to contribute to the survival of original traditions and practices. In this sense, it was concluded that educommunication processes help young people from the Wounaan indigenous community to build cultural identity through the appropriation and incorporation of the use of technological artifacts in the recording of their community practices (teaching the mother tongue mach meu, oral narratives, worldview and ancestral wisdom in the circles of words, history, memory of rituals and celebrations, among others).
