Alteridades y resistencias: Una aproximación psicosocial del tejido desde la interculturalidad

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to understand the knitting as a tool of collective resistance that allows the strengthening of alterities in the intercultural encounters of the Union of Seamstresses space located in the Center of Memory, Peace and Reconciliation of Bogotá, in which Afro, indigenous, and mixed-up population participate. The seamstress enables the development of processes of claim of rights, collective healing, memory, and peace-building through horizontal relations that bring into dialogue different perspectives, knowledge and cultures, from the exercise of Weaving. Therefore, the research interest is developed from conceptual frameworks that establish contextual and emerging understandings of Latin American realities that allow to recognize human problems and phenomena; under this picture the disciplinary visions of Political, Ancestral and Transcultural Psychology favored readings on Alterity and Collective Resistance. The above, through the qualitative methodological gaze with second-order approaches, which had as its design the ethnomethodology, because it enabled interpretations on the interactions that arise in the same daily life of the space Union of Seamiers to through the 5 weaving meetings with 8 participating actors from different regions of the country, with whom the techniques of gathering information participant observation, dialogue of knowledge and photovoice were applied. It is obtained from a conversational analysis, a methodological triangulation by means of matrices that highlight as results the relationships between the categories of analysis and the scenario, in which, the interactional characteristics of the interlocutors (participating actors and researchers) made it possible to identify the elements that account for the configuration of relationships from the recognition of difference and the construction of resistance processes, emergingly finding compressions about the importance of the development of psychosocial accompaniments from local population practices, as in turn reflections on which the self-observant posture of researchers was assessed have participated in the knitting activity, generating an ecology of knowledge among the shared knowledge that allows to conclude considerations about the constitution of intercultural scenarios anchored with the research interest of an psychosocial approach.
