CASTANO-BARCO, Sara Sofía  and  BERMUDEZ-PENA, Claudia. The Biographical Narrative as a Proposal for the analysis of Conflict and violence in Colombia: A college classroom experience. Prospectiva [online]. 2021, n.32, pp.15-35.  Epub July 01, 2021. ISSN 0122-1213.  https://doi.org/10.25100/prts.v0i32.10938.

This paper describes a pedagogical experience that adopted the biographical narrative as the articulating axis of the contents of the course "Social Conflicts and Violence", for training in Social Work. The subject became a scenario for meeting narratives from the experiences of the subjects of the pedagogical act (Educator-Educating) and to articulate Social research and Pedagogical action.

The article describes the experience and presents some of the most relevant findings derived from it, mainly recognizing the potential of the biographical narrative in at least three issues: 1. In the subject's own life, which includes the educator and the learner; 2. In the formation of Social Work and, 3. In the understanding of the national reality, mainly related to the social and political conflict of the last fifty years. What stands out is the importance of making visible the multiple relationships and intersections that cross the lives of the subjects with historical facts, and that they are able to recognize. Thus, historical, social and political facts cross the one's own existence and it is possible to trace them through their traces in biographical narratives.

Keywords : Action research; Social conflict; Biographical Narrative; Social work; Pedagogical research.
