An approach to lived experiences in pandemias and the construction of political subjectivity in children

Abstract

The purpose of this research work was to understand the incidence of family dynamics on the political subjectivity of boys and girls from 7 to 10 years old, before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic in Valencia Córdoba-Colombia. This research work is qualitative in nature and was based on a hermeneutic design that alludes mainly to the “act of interpreting”, considered as an element for the development of the social sciences. For the collection of information, interviews with minors and focus groups with adults were implemented; where it was possible to show that in crisis contexts, families create tools that facilitate managing moments of stress such as accompaniment in the performance of homework and tasks. In this way, through the learning left by the experiences lived within the coexistence, new elements are created that the boys and girls assimilate for the construction of their own identity, which are apprehended, together with fundamental skills and abilities in the processes of political subjectivity.
