Identidades Narrativas Y Organizaciones Juveniles en Sectores Populares De Cali

Abstract

This study falls within social constructionism from a narrative perspective. Its overall objective is to identify some elements of narrative identities associated with participation in youth organizations. It is a narrative design, purposive sampling, exploratory qualitative research. Eleven young people between 20 and 26 years old living in Cali, Colombia participate in the study. To collect data, semi-structured interviews and discussion groups are used. Textual and categorical analyses are performed by ATLAS.ti 7.0 software. The results of the SelfConception category shows the continuous negotiation of self-image and the creation of a place of recognition in the sociocultural context. The Life Project category suggests street and music as semiotic spaces where life goals are created in the context of everyday relationships. In conclusion, it can be said that stories are contextualized but reflect how young people re-create and subvert their sociopolitical realities.

“…El arte posibilita las experiencias terapéuticas porque permite transformar el relato y la expresión de estados subjetivos. Las actividades artísticas promueven la reorganización y reconstrucción de nuevas narrativas sobre el sí mismo y el porvenir porque son espacios para verbalizar las experiencias, siendo ampliamente usadas por los jóvenes para contrarrestar la marginación ocasionada por los discursos sociales preponderantes, posibilitando procesos catárticos que son apoyados en las organizaciones juveniles (Jiménez Flórez & Sánchez Villafañe, 2016).…”
