Narrativas orales campesinas y círculos de la palabra en la construcción de identidad

Abstract

This research, framed within the Pedagogy of Discursive Language Activities line of inquiry proposed by the Master's Program in Pedagogy of Language, Literature, and Communication (MPLLC), explores rural oral narratives and storytelling circles as cultural, political, and memory recovery resources in the rural communities of Pasquilla and Santa Rosa in Ciudad Bolívar (Bogotá, D.C.). It asks: How do rural oral narratives and storytelling circles influence intergenerational communication, collective memory, and narrative identity? Its objective is to recognize the role of rural oral narratives and storytelling circles in intergenerational communication and in the construction of collective memory and narrative identity in the aforementioned rural communities. To address and develop the research, the methodology focused on the systematization of experiences in which emerging categories were discovered, such as spoken language, shared memories, local knowledge, space/time, and daily tasks. It also explores how life experiences, from childhood and family dynamics to rural life, begin to be reconstructed through narratives, allowing for the recognition of the social and cultural conditions that peasant families currently experience and have experienced in the past.
