Formación ciudadana en Colombia

Abstract

This project aims to identify a series of challenges currently faced by citizenship education processes and their construction within the Colombian context. These challenges stem from the shortcomings of modern Western citizenship models, as well as from the formation of collective identities emerging within social movements and organizations. Methodologically, it adopts a qualitative paradigm and is based on key elements of pluritopic hermeneutics and deconstruction, both as methodological and political processes. Text analysis is used as a technical approach to make the steps of the process visible for future research.

Likewise, this study seeks to contribute to the renewal of forms of expression and manifestation of political action and the definition of categorical structures that shape organizations in their efforts to promote mobilization and cultural resistance—forms of political action that question new possibilities generated in Colombia’s post-conflict context. Therefore, this research delves into a series of categories and possibilities ranging from citizenship, deconstruction, and “buen vivir,” with theoretical insights drawn from social movements and the epistemologies of the South.
