Abstract

BACHER-MARTINEZ, Carolina. Contributions of the Participatory Action Research (PAR) to a Theology of the Signs of the Times in Latin America. Theol. Xave. [online]. 2017, vol.67, n.184, pp.309-332. ISSN 0120-3649.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.tx67-184.aiptst.

This article postulates the convergence between a Theology of the signs of the times in Latin America and the Participatory Action Research method, whose main reference in Sociology is the Colombian Orlando Fals Borda. The text correlates the foundations and procedures that constitute the theoretical frameworks of both, Theology of the signs of the times in Latin America and Participatory Action Research, and also develops a theologicalpastoral proposal of preliminary reception by offering a weighting of the possibilities and difficulties that the theological practice of this approach entails.

Keywords : Participatory Action Research; Signs of the Times; Theological Method; Latin America; Latin American Theology; Pastoral Theology.
