Conflicto armado, pedagogía para la paz y sujeto político

Abstract

The purpose of this document is to make a general overview of the pedagogical work that was carried out in the area of ​​Social Sciences with the course 903 Jornada Mañana of the INEM Santiago Pérez School (February-August, 2019). The reason for this staging consisted of proposing and innovating from the New Pedagogies for Peace tools for the strengthening of the Political Subject that each student innately carries, this, from the analysis, understanding and reflection of the most violent and violated structures under which current societies coexist and are forged, and, in a more nuclear way, Latin American societies. The pedagogical practice had as a theoretical basis a postmodern trend represented by the perspectives of Michel Foucault and Hannah Arendt; On the other hand, the structuralist tendency represented by the sociologists Fernando Guillén Martínez, Orlando Fals Borda, Donny Meertens and Gonzalo Sánchez is confluent. As a theoretical-practical foundation, the perspective of the Spanish Xesús Jares with his Education for Peace was taken. The exception is made that, under no point of view, was it intended to make a substantial change in the attitude, behavior or ethos of the student body in question. Broadly speaking, the interest fell more on the proposal of tools that make us reflect on the particular ethos of Colombian citizens than on the impact, measurement and verifiability that can emanate from the execution of such tools.
