| Summary: |
On this paper, we discuss the notion of ‘violence’ under the siege of social representations (Serge Moscovici). Particularly, we inquire about the beliefs individuals have around knowledge and the practices that could be implemented to foresee and/or address violence, as well as that which could be expected to be done in the frame of such knowledge; we center our study on psychology, the judicial law system, art and religión. We use this case with the purpose of problematizing the discordance -or the concordance- that could exist between the ways in which an individual makes an experience of himself inside certain knowledge and practices (Michel Foucault) and other hermeneutic horizons of understanding of the world; for instance, the assymetry between that which the individuals of a community believe about violence and the strategies of attention and/or prevention of it that could be programmed in an intervention project in said community.
On the analized case, the results we obtained show that 87.4% of the students inquired, consider the causes of violence to be of a psychological carácter (anger, depresión, etcetera). Besides, 84.4 % of the students sustained psychology as the most appropriate knowledge to prevent and/or attend violence, this medication and therapy. In a similar percentage, 84.4 % of the inquired students declared that the lack of artistic and cultural activities, that could stimulate people creativity, in their communities, represent one of the causes of violence. As well, they judged that the promotion of artistic-cultural activities in their community would be one of the most appropiate médiums to prevent and attend violence. On the contrary, a very high percentage of students (73.3%) declared that religion has no relevance on prevention or attention of violence; it isn’t expected either that it is used to do anything about it (85% of inquired students).
From the results we conclude that there are a concordance between the premises of a culturalartistic project, or one that contemplates psychologicak intervention, and the social
representation of violence held by the inquired students; condition that, maybe, means a better disposition to participate in a vinculation project that starts with the students. On the contrary, we infer that a vinculation project or an intervention that impplies religious aspects could confront many problems in its reception by the inquired students. Under these circumstances -between the encounter and disencounter, between a concordance and discordance-, with Jürgen Habermas, we propose some dialogical guidelines that enable the understanding between individuals that have dissimilar horizons of understanding of the world, the encounter between subjects that have different ways of making an experience of themselves –orientation that doesn’t, necessarily, mean reaching an understanding among the parts. |
