Abstract Details

2013, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, Communication and Development Studies (International Studies).
Citizen's media in Colombia face a great challenge as they aim to reconstitute the symbolic universes of communities by helping to re-appropriate public spheres, recodify the meanings of everyday life, reinvent their own narratives, and in sum, re-signify `realities’ in the midst of violence. “Pasolini en Medellin” is a nonprofit organization located in Medellin, Colombia that works with young people from peripheral neighborhoods, offering a creative Lab to engage in processes of creative ethnography, collaborative creation and collective action that can strengthen individuals and local communities by allowing them to explore, narrate and re-signify their own realities. This ethnographic research explores the case study of Pasolini en Medellin experience in Colombia in order to try to describe how they do what they do, and translate their methodological approach into shared knowledge. By doing so, this research explores directly and indirectly, the roles that citizen’s media practices may have in contexts of violence.
