La comprensión de la paz en Colombia

Abstract

This research project aims to review in a transdisciplinary way the conceptions of peace that have demarcated historical processes in the country. It is an exercise in interpreting the paradigms in which conceptualization has moved in different milestones of the national conflict and its interstices. Research is a bid to critically define peace (by reviewing scope) beyond individual perception in an effort to reconcile the multiplicity of meanings; in other words, it is about promoting an ontology of peace, that is, a dialogue between disciplines to create a common record of the concept that efficiently contributes to reflections on the practices of reconciliation, mediation, dialogues, and negotiations. , among others, where the use of language has been taken for granted without realizing how misleading it can be when speaking concretely about peace.

This company requires rigorous work in the research and systematization of the information that must be tracked at various levels (institutional, academic, organizations, among others) that will allow the analysis and interpretation of what has been said about peace. It is necessary to start from the fact that, in practical terms, one of the significant contributions of the research will be the consolidation of a common framework for the Institute of Peace and Development IPAZDE USTA, from where the research bets on peace, the peace building, accompaniment and intervention in communities victims and survivors of the conflict, as well as the definition of guidelines to continue the dialogues from the places of enunciation proper to each faculty, department and institute, which through IPAZDE would manage to consolidate itself as a center of thought that contributes to the understanding of the moment of transition in which Colombia finds itself
