Sociología de la semana por la Paz : desde la irenología, un caso aplicado. Sistematización de prácticas profesionales

Abstract

The following section is the consolidation of the sociological work materialized in the professional practices that I carried out at the Institute for Peace and Development (IPAZDE) of the Santo Tomás University.

As sociology students, work in the territory is essential to operationalize concepts, theoretical approaches, and methodological tools that we have developed and learned throughout our studies. In practical spaces, in experiences, it is where the task becomes more important and valid, since it is there that each piece of knowledge is considered and its applicability is demonstrated. This document focuses its gaze on the week for peace, its agendas and perspectives from a sociological perspective. It is based on the historical bases of peace studies and conflict resolution and proposes how this is a peaceful response to the warfare that the country has experienced for several decades. This systematization of experiences addresses their methodologies, discourses and history, including them in the logic of the current social context, in cultural and political changes, and in what could potentiate its impact in the future if it manages to consolidate itself in the imaginaries of more and more people and increasingly democratize the participation of more sectors of society. For this, a participant observation was chosen that would allow them to participate in week number 35 and discover how it is built collectively with the intention of knowing it more deeply and doing the analysis more appropriately.
