Reconciliaciones y resistencias: Modelos mentales y aprendizajes colectivos en la construcción de paz territorial en Colombia

Abstract

The processes of reconciliation in the scenario of post-war rehabilitation in Colombia and the possibility of building territorial peace emerge from the collective learning together with the practices of resistance and defense of the territories. After more than half a century of armed conflict, indigenous communities developed techniques to remain in their regions, an attitude that gives legitimacy to the establishment of communities of peace and the defense of their autonomy and government. This work is a tribute to the resistances, struggles and collective learning as exemplary strategies that surpass the agreements with the actors of the internal conflict of the 20th century in Colombia. The experiences gathered here are combined with the theoretical dialogues that require changing the reading angle of concepts such as peace, reconciliation, resistance and territory, which are now addressed from the practices of the communities themselves.
