Inconformidad social, estado y democracia en Colombia: una mirada filosófica de la primera línea en defensa de la democracia

Social Nonconformity, State and Democracy in Colombia: a Philosophical View of the First Line in Defense of Democracy

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to carry out an analysis of the problem of current social nonconformity on the part of Colombian society, evidenced in the social demonstrations unleashed in the year 2021, which lies in the State-Democracy relationship. Because of this, the analysis and description of the research is the product of three basic inputs, namely, first, the documentary sources and data available in the different entities and institutions related to the subject; second, the word of the actors and spokespersons representing the different social, economic, cultural and political-military forces and organizations, testimonies obtained through extensive interviews and permanent dialogues; and third, the theoretical contributions of those (inside and outside) of the country who have been thinking about this current situation that has generated a new wave of violence. An example of this violence are the homicides that prevail with certain current characteristics: generalization, complexity and recent degradation. It is not possible here to find a method and propose a single explanation of the events studied or a general framework of understanding. We visualize a methodical approach and an explanatory exploration that, from the consideration of homicidal violence in Colombia in a given period, has contributed to stimulate other searches about the reality studied here.
