Vamos a tertuliar para recuperar la memoria y el folclor oral

Abstract

This article aims to analyze how the tertulia contributes to the recovery of memory and oral folklore of the community of La Palmera in the municipality of Manizales, being the tertulia the most powerful way to accelerate learning and promote interaction with the environment. In other words, this dialogical process aims at the interaction and construction of meanings based on own knowledge, readings and literary interpretation. (Valls et al, 2008, p 73). This research has a qualitative approach based on the understanding of facts, with the application of the analytical method that allows to decompose a whole in its parts. The population under study was made up of a total of 13 families from UDS Atardeceres 9, an early childhood care unit in the family modality of EAS COOASOBIEN, a state program that consists of training children with the accompaniment of families, where most of those attending are between 0 and 45 to 60 years of age. The selection criteria that are taken into account is the assistance, willingness and commitment to carry out the proposed activities. The research was based on proposing a tertulia around the rescue of the cultural and literary identity of the community, to study them we used the technique of observation, individualized interview and focus group and instruments such as the interview, the field journal, film and/or tape recorder. The research took place in the municipality of Manizales, in the village of La Palmera. The results showed that this is an exercise in consistency and continuous monitoring, due to the fluctuating population. However, there are shortcomings in the strengthening of cultural knowledge since there are fears about telling and sharing stories with children, due to the same insecurities that have to be generated. There are experiences and knowledge that can continue to be rescued, the village being an area enriched with ancestral knowledge and full of loss in the future if the relationships and meetings to discuss literature and rural knowledge are not preserved.
