Abstract

AVENDANO-RAMIREZ, Manuela  and  VILLA-GOMEZ, Juan David. Political Polarization and Family Relationships: Relational Practices and Configuration Mechanisms of Political Posture as Psychosocial Barriers to Democracy and Peace in Medellin. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.1, pp.34-60.  Epub Nov 01, 2021. ISSN 1657-8031.  https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.5472.

From this analysis, social beliefs, collective emotional orientations, and narratives of the past were identified, which shape the dynamics of political polarization within families and relational practices, which derive from it, as well as mechanisms of configuration of the political posture from which they position themselves in the face of political difference with the other. This phenomenon is also an obstacle to the opening of public debate spaces about the country’s problems, for the exercise of political subjectivity and for the very construction of democracy and peace in Colombia.

Keywords : Colombian Armed Conflict; Political Polarization; Family Relationships; Psychosocial Barriers for Peace; and Peace Agreements.
