En búsqueda de la paz en sitios mineros de Bolivia. Una perspectiva comunicacional
Abstract
Los conflictos sociales plantean desafíos a la intervención en comunicación para el desarrollo. Cuando esos conflictos son de larga data y se manifiestan de manera recurrente, a menudo de manera violenta, como suele suceder en los sitios mineros, es necesario conocer, reconocer y transformar los discursos y prácticas de abordaje de esos conflictos. El diálogo puede revelarse como la forma de comunicación más apropiada para investigar acerca de esos elementos culturales y para redefinirlos de manera participativa. En este artículo, se presentan las metodologías y los hallazgos de una investigación realizada con tal fin.
Conflicts pose challenges to engagements in development communication. When conflicts express a long history of confrontations and they occur in a repetive way, also with violence, as they occur in mining communities, research may be relevant to understand and to change ressources and practices about conflict culture. Dialogue may be a better form of communication in order to study those cultural constructions and to learn about conflict transformation handling it autonomously, nonviolently, creatively with participation of everybody. The author presents in this article some methodologies and findings of her recent research work in Bolivia.
