"El miedo es pasajero": narrativas de dos jóvenes partícipes de la estrategia PAPSIVI en Bogotá

Abstract

The present investigative work is part of the research line "Language, knowledge and children's narratives" of the Francisco José de Caldas University, where the objective was to describe the experiences and feelings regarding emotions in the young participants of the strategy PAPSIVI, delving into the emotion of fear, where it starts from their life stories, stories, representations and findings around the psychosocial monitoring carried out. This research was carried out through a qualitative approach, through the narrative design, with the participation of two young people between the ages of 14 and 17, who have been recognized as victims of the internal armed conflict in Colombia. Based on the above, techniques such as the individual interview, direct observation and the application of some expressive activities were used to collect information about how these young people perceive fear and how they manifest it. Through their narratives, some emerging categories were generated that allow an analysis from the ecological environments and the acts of violence experienced by each one of them, which allow generating an approach to these life stories and the events that as Colombians we can experience frequently and can be determinant for the life courses of young people, boys and girls.
