Abstract

AGUILAR-FORERO, Nicolás J. C.. COMMUNICA(C)TION. Communication in youth collective action: two organizational experiences in Bogotá. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.2, pp.1331-1344. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14230140715.

The main purpose of this investigation was to understand the place that communication occupies in different forms of youth collective action with two organizational experiences that promote memory and fight against impunity: H.I.J.O.S. (Sons and Daughters for Identity and Justice against Oblivion and Silence, from its Spanish acronym) and the Contagio multimedia communication collective. The methodological proposal was based on a militant and collaborative research approach that combined different techniques: “participatory observation, dialogue spaces, semi-structured interviews and analysis of radio, textual and audiovisual content. The study identified that both collective action experiences build the relation between communication and collective action through diverse practices and dynamics, which as a whole promote counterhegemonic policies for memory and mobilizing initiatives in the area of peace building.

Keywords : Communication; youth organization; political practices; memory; Communicative practices; youth collective action; H.I.J.O.S.; contagio.
