“MULIPROPAZ”: MEDIATION EXPERIENCES FROM LIFE ENHANCING: A READING FROM THE IMPERFECT PEACE

Abstract

The plural forms of peace have existed throughout history; they have been expressed in local, particular and especially imperfect ways which have allowed life itself to thrive. However, forms of violence have hidden them under the premise of fear devices that break subjectivities and identities with an obvious outcome of exerting hegemonic power over others. Among conflict of territories that have been historically marked by sustained impoverishment in a violent way, there are groups that deploy actions recognized as pacifists mediations and allow the emergence of “other forms” of inhabiting territories, in which life is enhanced in its most generic way and configures forms of political action as re-existence possibilities in the face of opacities of hegemonic forms which invalidate inhabitants. This document approaches the question about local mobilization forms centered in pacifist and nonviolent practices for the configuration of inhabitation forms and the realities that need to be transform.
