Abstract

The current research focuses on the ideational field and social imaginaries that exist around the armed conflict, the violence, and the idea of a peace project as a possibility in Colombia. In order to that it was carried out a historical hermeneutical analysis of the social imaginaries around the construction of concepts as violence and peace concerning the armed conflict and the peace process in Colombia, emerged in speeches elaborated by university young people of professional careers of ninth and tenth semesters in the Written Communication test Saber Pro applied by ICFES (2012-2014). For this, it was proposed a methodology that combines in an interdisciplinary perspective the techniques of textual analysis, Linguistic, Critical and Historical discourse analysis, with the theory of social imaginaries proposed by Cornelius Castoriadis. This study contributes to establish the variants and cultural models that allows understanding and transforming social processes in scenery of postconflict, in which hasn’t been processed and assimilated that the Nation needs to reborn taking into a count ideas, mediation, dialogue and nonviolent precepts. Questioning the imaginaries makes possible to understand that the problem are not the enemies, whatever their names are, the form they take or the mask they are put on; the problem are the factors that make us see them as enemies, treat them and annihilate them as such. Conflicts at first sight are irreconcilable, but actually they are nothing more than the loss of creative social imagination and the lack of possible routes that allow us to live in a different way without resentment and hate.
