Abstract
TOVAR GUERRA, Claudia. Displacement and psycho-social support: with regard to the emergency of new political actors. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2006, vol.5, n.1, pp.147-162. ISSN 1657-9267.
The article introduces the reflection about new political actors which emerge from the forced displacement phenomenon in Colombia and discuss the role of psycho-social support to people who have undergone that phenomenon. We propose a political characterization of the migrant farmer, making a conceptual analysis of the governmental and nongovernmental organizations that welcome, take care and accompany displaced people, and establish the problem of the encounter between those two realities; finally, after a reconceptualization of Politics based on contributions of the complex thought, the article propose an specific way of psychosocial support in this encounter.
