Reconciliation as possible present: girls and boys in the armed conflict

Abstract

This article presents the results of a research aimed at understanding the meanings
and political practices of children in vulnerable situations in Eje Cafetero, Antioquia
and Bogotá (Colombia), in relation to peace, reconciliation and democracy. The
study was based on political ontological hermeneutics, which provided elements to
make a reading and ¿provide an understanding of transformations from narratives,
reconciliation and peace building. The results reveal that the construction of children as
political subjects of reconciliation is given from a creative reading of reality different
from that of adults, given that children live reconciliation on a daily basis through play
and games.
