La imagen y la narrativa como herramientas para el abordaje psicosocial en escenarios de violencia. Municipios de Pasto, Ipiales y Taminango.

El presente trabajo es el resultado del análisis que se hace a profundidad de algunos de los escenarios de violencia que actualmente se vive en el país. En primera instancia se realiza un acercamiento al enfoque narrativo y análisis de relatos mediante la lectura de los diferentes referentes teóricos y el documento VOCES: Relatos de violencia y esperanza en Colombia, en donde se plasman 5 historias en las cuales se proyectan varios acontecimientos de como la violencia se ha ido apoderando de las comunidades más vulnerables del país. El relato No.2 Camilo, expone situaciones impactantes que atentan con libre desarrollo de los individuos, violando sus derechos, maltratando su integridad física y psicológica, atentando contra quienes se proyectan como el futuro y la esperanza del país, los niños y adolescentes. A partir del relato de Camilo, fue necesario el reconocimiento y formulación de preguntas pertinentes orientadas hacia un acercamiento psicosocial ético y proactivo. Dentro de la intervención psicosocial con comunidades que fueron expuestas a situaciones traumáticas como las del caso de Cacarica, se hace necesario generar espacios de acompañamiento en donde las victimas puedan expresar lo vivido, ya que, el relato de sus historias y anécdotas permiten la apertura de emociones y sentimientos que generan una acción liberadora y emancipadora del sufrimiento y dolor y que trae como consecuencia el bloqueo y estancamiento del progreso. Dentro de esta misma línea, se anexa al presente documento el Informe analítico y reflexivo de la experiencia vivida en cuanto al desarrollo del ejercicio foto voz, que se realizó, con el fin de obtener información importante que nos acerquen a la creación e implementación de estrategias en pro de mejorar la calidad de vida de las comunidadesThis work is the result of an in-depth analysis of some of the violence scenarios that are currently being lived in the country. In the first instance, an approach to the narrative approach and analysis of stories is made by reading the different theoretical references and the document VOCES: Stories of violence and hope in Colombia, where 5 stories are captured in which several events are projected as Violence has been taking over the most vulnerable communities in the country. The story No.2 Camilo, exposes shocking situations that threaten the free development of individuals, violating their rights, mistreating their physical and psychological integrity, undermining those who project themselves as the future and hope of the country, children and adolescents. Based on Camilos account, it was necessary to recognize and formulate pertinent questions oriented towards an ethical and proactive psychosocial approach. Within the psychosocial intervention with communities that were exposed to traumatic situations such as those in the case of Cacarica, it is necessary to generate accompaniment spaces where victims can express what they have lived, since, the story of their stories and anecdotes allow the opening of emotions and feelings that generate a liberating and emancipatory action of suffering and pain and that results in the blocking and stagnation of progress. Within this same line, the analytical and reflective report of the experience lived in the development of the photo voice exercise, which was carried out, is attached to this document, in order to obtain important information that will bring us closer to the creation and implementation of strategies in favor of improving the quality of life of the communitie
