Abstract
En la comuna 13 de Medellín (Colombia) existen más de una decena de
medios alternativos de comunicación que buscan generar procesos de
participación ciudadana y superar el estigma que han construido el Estado y
los medios masivos sobre esta zona como escenario de confrontación entre
grupos de guerrilla urbana y fuerzas combinadas de Ejército, Policía y
paramilitares; también, como zona caótica y de alta criminalidad. La apuesta
de los medios alternativos está orientada a la resistencia noviolenta, a la
lucha por la construcción de otros sentidos y representaciones; además, a la
promoción de una cultura de paz. El propósito de este trabajo fue tratar de
establecer de qué modo los medios alternativos, impresos y digitales de la
comuna 13 de Medellín han contribuido a la apropiación de la comunicación
como un bien común y cómo han promovido la construcción y recuperación
de espacios para la ciudadanía desde la resistencia noviolenta durante el
periodo 2002-2018. La investigación es de tipo cualitativa, enfoque
interpretativo, y utiliza las herramientas propias de este enfoque. Uno de
nuestros hallazgos es que los medios han sido cruciales en la generación de
un relato desde las mismas comunidades y, a partir de él, posicionar en el
ámbito nacional e internacional, otras representaciones sociales más ligadas
al potencial de sus habitantes en torno al deporte, el arte y la organización
comunitaria. Igualmente, han sido vitrinas a través de las cuales se dan a
conocer estrategias de resistencia noviolenta a fin de ofrecer opciones
distintas a la guerra a muchos jóvenes.
The “Comuna 13” neighborhood, in Medellín, Colombia, there are over ten alternative means of communication that are looking to generate processes of citizen participation and overcome the stigma that the state and mainstream media have constructed about this zone as a scene of confrontation between urban guerrilla groups and the combined forces of army, police and paramilitaries and also as an area of chaos and high crime rates. The alternative media propose nonviolence, the fight for the construction of other meanings and representations, as well as the promotion of a culture of peace. The purpose of this study is to try to establish the way in which these alternative forms of media, both print and digital, have contributed to the appropriation of communication as a common good and how they have promoted the construction and recuperation of spaces for citizens by means of non-violent resistance during the periods 2002-2018. The research is qualitative and uses the tools required for this focus. One of the findings is that these forms of media have been crucial in the generation of a narrative from the community itself and from this they have managed to position, both nationally and internationally, other social representations related to the potential of its habitants in terms of sport, art and community organizing. They have also been a means to showcase strategies of nonviolence with the purpose of offering young people an alternative to the war. Another essential contribution has been the positioning of their own collective memory, in contrast to the official narrative about violent events that have occurred in this territory, like operation Orión. This research results in the identification of some key elements that have allowed these alternative forms of media to survive in a context of urban conflict and limited resources for their operation.
