Motivaciones políticas en jóvenes al interior de dos organizaciones en pro de los derechos de los animales AnimaNaturalis y ADA

Abstract

This degree project focuses mainly on young people and their motivations to get involved in the political struggle for animal rights and is based on a 2014 case study developed in two animal rights organizations in Bogota (AnimaNaturalis and ADA). First, we will consider the characterization of the Ibero-American Organization AnimaNaturalis and the Association for the Defense of Animals and the Environment (ADA), the differentiation that exists between these two and how they can be understood from positions such as new social movements and social organizations, based on their radius of action. Following this, the second chapter establishes a dialogue on the family and social incidence in the political participation of the young members of AnimaNaturalis and the ADA; since the subject upon re-socialization finds spaces outside conventional politics where he can exercise his role as a political subject and give meaning to the actions within his identity group. Finally, the third chapter focuses on the new political culture and collective action in the cultural representations of the young members of AnimaNaturalis and ADA, taking into account that actions largely define the organizations and their members; the methodological exercise implemented for this chapter was appropriate to argue the general objective on the motivations and political action for the young members of the organizations.
