Tibuyanos al combate

Abstract

The armed conflict in Colombia has been present throughout the national territory, in some places in a greater proportion, and it is there where the inhabitants, through communication processes, seek to develop the regions through social change to implement alternatives for community participation. that mitigate the use of violence. In this case, in the Catatumbo region, the armed conflict has been latent since the 1970s, with the settlement of armed groups in this area. However, the conflict in the region dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, with the arrival of the North American oil companies, which expelled a large part of the indigenous community. For this reason, the population of this part of Norte de Santander has been subjected to the domination practices of various groups, which has led to an organization and reconstruction of social actions by its inhabitants. This project analyzed the historical, socio-cultural, political and economic factors of the Catatumbo region, specifically in the village of Campo dos, municipality of Tibú, with the aim of demonstrating the community organization of its inhabitants from both indigenous communities, represented by other groups, such as peasants who strengthen communication for social change in the region, through their resilience practices based on two axes; on the one hand, from the positive use of the land through the sowing of cocoa, palm and coffee crops. On the other hand, artistic expressions such as graffiti and rap that help to strengthen the communication processes of the region and vindicate the territory through joint action.
