SANCHEZ-AGUDELO, Paula Vanessa et al. Dialogue as a Collective Practice for Social Reconciliation. Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.2, pp.204-218. ISSN 1657-8031.  https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.5140.

This article presents emerging narratives around armed conflict and social reconciliation, resulting from a process of dialogue among different social actors, by including victims and ex-combatants, carried out, in Samaná, Caldas. The methodological design used the Public Dialogue tool to simultaneously fulfill research and action purposes and discourse analysis in order to identify the discursive positions of participants regarding conflict and their actors, and to understand the movements that statements demonstrate from experience in dialogue. The findings reveal a polariza tion narrative in which stereotypes predominate at the beginning of dialogue and a transformation towards a narrative of recognition of the other, which makes it possible to conclude that dialogue, as a collective practice, promotes social reconciliation.

Keywords : Armed Conflict; Peace Process; Dialogue; and Social Reconciliation.
