Las representaciones sociales derivadas de la práctica de la violencia como estrategia política por parte de los grupos paramilitares en el marco del conflicto armado colombiano.

Abstract

This research identifies the social representations of violence, political violence and armed conflict; derived from the practice of violence as a political strategy by paramilitary groups on an indigenous woman, in the context of the Colombian armed conflict. This investigative work was developed with a qualitative methodology, approached from a narrative biographical method where the in-depth interview strategy was used, addressing the life history of the indigenous leader participant of the Wayúu community. Southern epistemologies were used to understand human reality from the interviewee's own indigenous worldview, and thus be able to understand her reality and human realities within the same community in a logical way. In addition to this, the complexity paradigm was used to explain human reality seen from the interpretation of an indigenous woman, which dimensions the world in a complex network of related, intertwined and interconnected components, in order to have a particular meaning. The information analysis was carried out through a categorical analysis addressing the different phases that the investigative work had. Finally, finding the interpretations that the participant gives to the concepts previously raised and how from her voice and indigenous worldview she analyzes, represents and generates strategies to face and give meaning to the different events and realities that emerge from violence as a political strategy in the framework of the armed conflict, which responds to the objectives set out in the investigative work.
