Educación popular y ciudadanía: el caso de las cartillas del Movimiento Político de Masas Social y Popular del Centro Oriente de Colombia (MPMSPCOC)

Abstract

This research approaches the idea of citizenship and its connotation in the political field from the perspective of "popular ways of life"; in other words, from the ways of assuming and participating in the political context promoted by social movements, specifically in the case of the Movimiento Político de Masas Social y Popular del Centro Oriente de Colombia (MPMSPCOC). This approach to the notion of citizenship is generated from the discourse analysis applied to the document "Life Plan", in addition to the fourteen educational booklets that constitute the Regional Educational System, defined as the experience of popular education promoted by the organization in the region. The research also gathers the background, structural characteristics, articulation possibilities and objectives of the organization to finally present the main conclusions on the way the question of citizenship is assumed by the movement.
