Emociones políticas: un camino hacia la construcción de una cultura de paz desde los jóvenes

Abstract

Abstract This research work seeks to analyze the predominant political emotions in young people belonging to the Generación V más collective and their possible contributions to the construction of a culture of peace. This collective carries out pedagogical volunteer actions in relation to the legacy of truth in the Colombian territory. In this case, four members of Generación V más Bogotá participate. To achieve the objective, multimodal content analysis techniques and semi-structured interviews were used as tools belonging to the qualitative approach. The results reveal that the young people of Generación V más mainly experience emotions such as hope, sympathy and love, which reinforce their commitment to the construction of a more just and peaceful society. These findings suggest that young people's political emotions, far from being obstacles, can be avenues for social transformation and for strengthening a culture of peace based on dialogue, inclusion and collective action. In conclusion, this research highlights the importance of understanding and adequately channeling the political emotions of young people as a tool for advancing towards the construction of a more peaceful and democratic society.
