Rumiar nuestras heridas. Del dolor social a la potencia colectiva

Abstract

The article explores in a conceptual way the possibility of processing in collective, group and personal spaces the multiple wounds of our biographies as a motor of problematization and collective empowerment. Taking as a base the intersection of Political ecology, environmental affectivity and bodies and emotions´ sociology; it reflects on the social wounds that make up our short and long memory in the midst of power relations and predation. It focuses on the ways in which «pain becomes silent», especially in the disaffection of violence towards the human and non-human. Finally, a conception of politics as a continuous (re) composition of life (in common) is proposed, in contrast to the idea of the reproduction of life, based on the etymology of the words composition and production.
