FRIED SCHNITMAN, Dora. Generative Perspective in the Management of Social Conflicts. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2010, n.36, pp.51-63. ISSN 0123-885X.

The effects of armed political conflict on civilian populations are very painful and involve not only the direct impact of violence but also the fragmentation it wages on the social tissue. This article presents some applications of the generative model and its methodologies for facing crisis and conflict. These applications can help people recover their resources, meanings and relationships, re-orient their lives and restore personal and social integrity. While the article recognizes the impact of traumatic situations, it understands that victims of violence were also capable of surviving and carrying on in the face of adversity. Indeed, they were often able to confront such adversity, appealing to their resources, and to detect and accept alliances and collaborations in order to find or build social conditions and networks that allowed them to re-orient their lives. This article suggests that this emphasis on resources and the joint construction of alternatives provides an approach to the study of these processes and facilitates spaces of recovery and coexistence. The article proposes that, when recognized as such, these survival strategies can be expanded to promote the transformation of identity and social bonds that go beyond that initial resources of these survivors to facilitate their transformation into citizens with full rights, and have an impact not only on their living conditions but also social and political agendas.
