Resumen
OSPINA-RAMIREZ, David Arturo y OSPINA-ALVARADO, María Camila. Possible futures, the creative potential of children for peacebuilding. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.1, pp.175-192. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.1511016022016.
This article presents some of the results of a study that seeks to denaturalize violence as a fundamental element of the subjectivity of girls and boys in contexts of armed conflict. The study recognizes the capabilities of children and their socializing agents to contribute to processes of peace-building, democracy and reconciliation by making use of the resources of social constructionism and generative narratives. The research has a qualitative methodology that draws on hermeneutics and critical guidance using the categorical analysis of narratives. This article focuses on the potential of human development for peace-building that children use in situations of armed conflict, and specifically focuses on the creative potential for conflict transformation. The study found that the children and their families contribute to peace-building processes by using their creativity and affection to find possible futures.
