La víctima en el teatro: la interpretación del conflicto armado colombiano a través del arte escénico y su aporte pedagógico

Abstract

Violence in Colombia has become an evident social phenomenon throughout its history, definitively affecting the different spheres of society, to such an extent that it is part of the construction of reality as one of the elements of identification of society. national. Violence as a social phenomenon in the country has been studied from multiple perspectives, and even after the Santos government's Peace Agreement with the extinct FARC guerrilla in 2016, countless institutions and projects have been opened that seek to contribute to the construction of peace within the frameworks that the same process has imposed. One of the central axes that govern the peace process has to do with the centrality of the victim through intentions of truth, justice, reparation and non-repetition. In these last four concepts, all the importance of the process is contained, however, it goes without saying that they are sufficiently controversial concepts in the political and legal fields, that they need different interpretations where a contemporary and, perhaps, more holistic look is allowed. . However, legal, sociological, economic and even religious interpretations of the phenomenon of violence have been quite prolific on the part of research centers in universities and institutes related to the subject. However, the artistic field has been little explored from a pedagogical vision in this long process of peace building in Colombian society. This exercise of pedagogical interaction with society could offer an interpretation of the construction of reality through artistic proposals, a hermeneutic form of interaction between society, the victims, the work and the truth. It is worth remembering that violence as a phenomenon has also become the object of reflection for innumerable Colombian artists, who have tried to reflect its relationship with the rest of society; although this does not mean that it is a particular tendency or its own artistic movement; in fact, the arts are the most common manifestation of feeling, hence the difficulty in defining their role in society. In this way, we sought to analyze the relationship that has been built between theater as an artistic manifestation, the idea or concept of the victim in the play and its relationship with the interpretation of reality and construction of the truth, always maintaining attention in their pedagogical contribution to society.
