CRUZ CASTILLO, Alba Lucia  and  NOVOA PALACIOS, Amparo. Ethopolitical pedagogy: reparative actions from the voices of Afro-Colombian women surviving victims belonging to Afromupaz and La Comadre (Afrodes). memorias [online]. 2023, n.51, pp.57-84.  Epub Jan 12, 2024.

This research aims to recover, make visible and position the voices of black women who are part of the Afromupaz and La Comadre collectives, groups of surviving victims of the armed conflict in Colombia who have decided to add reflections and mobilizing actions to the debate for truth, justice and reparation, through autonomous practices of collective, ancestral ethnic healing that contribute to processes of coping with pain. The text highlights the political position against the construction of alternative memory, gestated from below and the pedagogical practices that are installed there and that are covered with cultural traditions.

This investigation was carried out during the years 2017-2020 in an exercise of a decolonial nature in the process of accompanying 23 women from the aforementioned groups, who through spaces for listening and participation assume an ethical-political place in the narrative, of relationship, of dialogue and of horizontal co-interpretation, in which one co-participates, understanding that the personal and collective are articulated in the same scenario. From there, pedagogical elements that underlie healing practices are intuited and the collective actions that give it strength as a repair device are analyzed, which in this work are called "ethopolitical pedagogy".

Keywords : pedagogy; collective reparation; Afro-Colombian; practice; healing.
