Resignificación del concepto de rol y ciudadanía

Abstract

The chosen population consisted of a group of 6 women who lived in the Hogar Betánia, located in San Cristóbal, in the south of Bogotá. The research carried out with these women aimed to analyse and demonstrate the contextual elements that have an impact on their lives and how they affect their social environment, the influence they have on the roles they play in society and their participation in citizenship practices. This research was developed within the framework of a series of school reinforcement workshops in English and literacy, which revolved around the theme of role, women and citizenship. The first step in the research was to identify and understand the conception that the women of the household had of the roles they had to fulfil in society in the face of the imaginaries constructed by each one of them from their respective contexts and how these had repercussions on citizenship practices and the roles they played in social life. The second step was to contribute to the re-signification of these concepts and to observe whether it was possible to generate any change in the conception that women had of their value in society, the role they played and what it implied to be a woman and a citizen.
