Construcción de la memoria histórica local del corregimiento puerto pinzón: una mirada desde la pedagogía dialogante

Abstract

The research, titled "Construction of local historical memory of the Puerto Pinzón district: A perspective from dialogic pedagogy," addresses the progressive loss of historical memory and the naturalization of violence in this rural territory of Puerto Boyacá between 1960 and 2000. The main objective was to collectively understand local memory by integrating the voices, experiences, and knowledge of elderly residents, using dialogic pedagogy as a transformative core. Methodologically, a qualitative approach was employed under a descriptive case study design. Techniques such as life histories, narrative interviews, and focus groups were conducted with eight residents over 70 years old. The results, systematized through Atlas.ti software, reveal that memory in Puerto Pinzón is a complex web of tensions between protective silence and community resilience. Significant milestones were identified, such as the founding of the educational institution,a catalyst for social organization and the dynamics resulting from the armed conflict and illicit crops. The process culminated in the creation of an audiovisual documentary story that serves as a tool for collective validation and preservation of cultural legacy. It is concluded that pedagogical dialogue allows for the resignification of the past, transforming a stigmatized territory into a setting of dignity, identity, and historical rootedness.
